Well, as most of you know this appears to be a hard material to find to restore your American beauty back to originality. I currently have a 73 AMX Javelin going through a full restoration. I have located a lot of parts to get her back to originality, but to find the PC bolt to to the interior is becoming nerve racking task at best!!!! I would hate to have the AMX all restored with faded interior.
I have contacted Doug @ SMS and he keeps telling me they will make a run of it soon. But it has been over 6 months.
Does anyone have any leads or contacts to find the material necessary to restore my American beauty?
Thanks,
Bob ------------- " LIVING THE AMX DREAM" 1973 AMX Javelin Pierre Cardin 1973 AMX Javelin Barnfind "Wifes"

There is someone in calgary working on Manafacturing the complete PC interior as a kit.
They will be using the 1 NOS sheet of Material I have and my interior to make the kits.
No Idea on cost yet but I will add you to the list.

Hey Bryan,
Thanks for the information and adding me to your list. It would be nice for someone to reproduce the fabric. There are a lot of us looking for the material and I believe it will be profitable for them. Keep me posted as to your results. Also, they give you an expected time?
Thanks for your time,
Bob

I've heard about redying the fabrics so the colors are bright again but im not sure how well that works ------------- 1973 Pierre Cardin Javelin |

Redying is a problem if I understand the process correctly. Because of the special nylon fabric, dying requires a heat treating process in order for the color to be absorbed into the cloth. I would also like to be added to the PC new cloth list. I am considering having a duplicate leather set made. ------------- Why won't this thing turn over...?

How many yards of material does it take to do a set of front seats? Back seats? I would think most headliners would be Ok....Whats the materials fair market value these days??? I remember my boys standing and jumping up and down on the backseat of my new 73 Pierre Javelin, and one incident that was a lot worse than that, had to evacuate the vehicle, but that stuff was really tough and cleaned up easily and nicely....Bob ------------- Thankyou....Bob |

Right now I have my Pierre Cardin buckets and back seats being done at the upholstery shop. I believe it is either 9 or 10 yards to do the seats. When you purchase the material it is sold as a (bolt). As for a price on the material (if you can find it) can run any where from $1,200 and up!! It took me over a year to locate the material. ------------- " LIVING THE AMX DREAM" 1973 AMX Javelin Pierre Cardin 1973 AMX Javelin Barnfind "Wifes"

Love it or hate it...I guess Id say I really like it...I bought a new 73 silver Javelin in Tulsa that had the package...traded it for a Grand Wagoneer in Waukomis Ok...sure hope it somehow survived...I now have a 73 Javelin Amx in Plum color with the package and those two colors togeather are hard to beat....I bought the 48,000 mile car from a dealer in AMC parts from the LA area who was going to part it....The car has a interesting history and was Ben Carcos wifes demonstrator. I had the seats done back in 1989 because they were somewhat faded, and the material was not a giveaway even back then.....I took the car, once completed, to the milestone car show in Thousand Oaks, Ca for its first and only show ever....Ill never forget the two guys who walked around it and their comment was....Look what this guy did to his interior!!!! He should have used a watermellon for a hood ornament!!!! This was the only show open to the general public I ever took it to....Still have it and still like it...Bob ------------- Thankyou....Bob |

This weekend I will have a complete PC interior for sale. The back seat and headliner are in good condition. The front seats are not. The fabric on the front seats is faded and each seat has a 5" rip with a few other problems. $300.00 plus shipping takes it all

Found this post trying to figure out what it's worth? What would a complete used PC interior worth? I'm parting out a 73 Javelin with one and would like to know what to ask? There are no rips or wear through but faded somewhat . It's it mint NOS quality nope but useable.I'd say driver quality. Trouble is I'm in Canada about 45 minutes north of Toronto so shipping this all is a no go. Thanks Brad

I got some embossed seat material for my maverick from them and it was awesome, I only have one tear in my Gucci Sportabout drivers seat and got some matching green material with the car , but it would be nice to know if they did the Gucci material too |
