I am a recent new comer to the AMC world and this list. The last AMC I owned
was 30 years ago. I want some advice from people who know more about these
cars than I do. I have a 1972 Javelin, all the original papers, dealership
materials, and title. A basic SST, 304 engine with air. A one owner car until I
obtained it.
How many original Javelins' do you see around AMC car gatherings? Do I keep
it as is or muscle it up? Either way, I will be restoring for me, and not to
resell. I am open to putting more $ into it than I could get out of it.
My kids can deal with that when I've left this world. I'm Just want some
objective advice.

Hi Dave -
Find the Factory functional Cowl Induction Hood - with the C.I. air cleaner
assembly - get the AMX interior door panel trim - the AMX Factory gauge cluster -
AMX trunk lid 'spoiler' and find a nice stock 401 / 727 trans combo -
you're investment will be rewarded by a much nicer ride and climb in resale value.
You can surf the AMC sites - place Ads in the AMO and the various State AMC clubs
along with a FREE Ad on www.ep.com - get *Nice* pieces so take your time.
401's are out there - you'll pay Premium for a stock running engine - and it'll
need to be shipped as all the ones I found were Mid West areas.
Do Not buy a bored out +.030 engine - get a stock motor.
Someone just had the service block AMC thick bore 360 engine in their
parts stash - you might want to bid on that - I would.
If you run across a set of 1970 'MACHINE' wheels - grab them.
Get this together and you're in the 'Rare' bubble AMX Ownership standing.
