Just wondering,how many imported AMC's there might be in Oz? (In particular,imported Javelins.)
These might belong to members of this forum or vehicles that are known to be around.And as always,pics would be good.

Ah yes, that would be me, but not a lot of action on there in recent times.
 
Are you looking for the number of Aussie assembled RHD cars, if so the numbers are on there, as to private imports there would be a few around but how many is anybody's guess.

Yes,I know about the Javelin Register,thanks.
Was more curious about imorted models,rather than Aust assembled (RHD) cars.
In a nutshell,I'm wondering if mine is the only LHD Javelin in Oz.

Here is an early import. Built factory RHD 1970 Ambassador SST Hardtop and imported to Australia by an Australian Air Force Wing Commander in 1972. Still has all the original AAA, US Base car park stickers on the car. Unrestored and drives like new.

Geniune 1970 Javelin SST 304 Auto. Imported about five years ago by a Queenslander. Was a purple car until recently redone in white with the C Stripe. I believe a Black Vinal roof is next. Has 360 V8 in the car before it came out to Australia.

OzJavelin on the other forum has an import 74 Javelin, Jim Richards' race car is also an import. I've also seen a private import early AMX up for sale somewhere.
 
So there would be a few lurking around the place if you went looking. There are a few Gremlins around even though they were never sold here, well except for one i believe.
 
As well as your usual private imports, it seems quite a few cars came here with US military personnel when they were stationed here.
