Re: Some strange 69 Jav options!

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,
I have copies of a local Dealer catalog ofSpecification pages for the 1969
Javelin.  I bought one in 1969 and they gave me those pages as they were
replacing them with the next models. It may be of some help in answering
your questions .  There is about 25 photo files or scans and looks like
about 2 MB of files here so can likely handle by email to you.  I can likely
compress these for emailing, too, whi9ch would make it better for email.

This shows the different options available and costs.  My '69 SST came with
power disk brakes but think the plain jane came with regular drum brakes.
Back then nobody considered the disk brakes that big a deal.  So, if you
want I can email this to you.  Just let me know.

> While I haven't posted to this list often, I've had a '68 Ambo DPL for a
while and have now acquired a '69 Javelin.  It is not an SST, it has a 343
and was originally equipped with a 4bbl, has Auto trans on the floor, dual
exhaust, chrome valve covers, platinum interior, Group 19 R4B Edelbrock
intake manifold and a 140mph speedo/tach.  What's strange is that the last
owner says the car DID NOT have disc brakes!  It does now, but after
recalling doing a conversion with parts from a 75 Hornet.  This guy knows a
lot about AMC/Rambler, but maybe his memory isn't too clear, as he's had
nearly every other type of AMC except for the AMX and SC/Rambler.

and ordered this car without disc brakes, they'd build it?  Now I know AMC
was a bit unconventional, but I have a hard time accepting that any
salesperson in their right mind would have let someone buy this car and pay
for all the options and not sell them on disc brakes.  I'd love to have the
build sheet on this one!
