AMX/Javelin Portfolio is a good one for those models. That's not to say they aren't good 
AMC books, especially if you're mainly into the muscle cars. All of those should sell in 
the $20-$30 range as used books, I'd think -- about what they retailed for new. They 
aren't really rare books, just out of print. "

Agreed, and there are a mess of rare AMC books out of print. However, like many of our 
cars, just being out of print, or rare, does not equate to market vaule in many cases.

Here is a book list off my site:

also can consider this book:

http://www.hobbyobsession.com/bjsbook.html

of which have seen sell on ebay for $75. So one sells for $75, then suddenly everyone runs 
and suts off their copy and dumps it trying to ride the coat tails of a high $ sale.

I could go on here about one of the first Superman min condition comic books still known 
to exist selling for over $1 million

and hope that is not a fine Nash product he is fixing to hurl, but suddenly on heels of 
this, other collectors are phishing their same/similiar to 'get a piece of the action'. 
Even with reprints...........
