Hi everyone
I was forwarded Ben Ludlow's phone number the today. I am going to give him a ring in the not too distant future. If you have any questions you would like me to ask him about his shop, speedway cars, the 30 or so 290ci V8 Hornet conversions etc etc please put questions up here or PM me and I will ask him. Will be VERY interesting having a chat with Ben as he has a rich history with the AMC/Ramblers

the previous pic is our 69 aussie jav that a previous owner was setting up to go racing in some form or another,the front has been heavily modified as you can see in the pic.We purchased the car from the next owner,and have no idea how the front end was intended to be set up,the non javelin kframe has been welded in and a seventy model shock towers grafted in,I cant set the front end up right with stock control arms.Hoping someone might know of the cars history prior to our purchasing it about 15 years ago,it was originaly mustard with a coat of red over the top.dont have ID tag but door tag reads 6979-5k.
Car was last on the road in 85,interior fire was I think what put it off the road originally,one of the previous owners collected some 70 parts that came with it,including a white interior.Love to know if anyone remembers this car

Also for those interested the racetrack I mentioned that was going to be a part of the 2nd annual Australian AMC/Rambler show (at the Chryslers on the Murray) has been officially booked for the friday in March this year. It has been a long process and was up in the air for awhile and was only booked the other day so thats why there hasn't been any mention of it in the programme/entry forms etc until now. It is a CAMS approved track, just under 2km long I think?, and will available on the friday 13th March for anyone wanting to test their AMC/Rambler out in anger. You do need to book as places on the day are limited and enquiries can be made info@chryslersonthemurray.com . Anyone is welcome to be a spectator and it is only 10 minutes on the Melbourne side of Albury/Wodonga. You don't need a fast angry car at all to have a fun squirt around the track in your AMC/Rambler. You just need a sense of ADVENTURE see you there Edited by 70Hornet - Jan/14/2015 at 7:56pm |

Some pictured doing the rounds show that the new Jim Richards Javelin is just about ready to hit the track, but before we get to that, here is a little background on the car:
By the way, Craig also imported my 71 AMX and at least a couple of others. Here are a couple of pictures of Jim's car during the build: A few bits like the cage were salvaged from the old car: And finally the finished product, looks absolutely fantastic and I think set to make it's debut at the Clipsal 500, from Feb 26th to March 1st this year: Edited by WesternRed - Jul/14/2017 at 6:20am |
