Amazingly enough the fello whwo bought both the 72 AMX Special order for 43500 and the The Red Death for $300 died sadly about 2 years later. Both cars were then sitting for sale at the AMC Nationals we had in Houston, the 72AMX sold for $3200; the Death went unsold, and as I write, sold a few months ago for $1500, sitting beside Hiway 35 south of Houston in a guy's frontyard sadly, it has fallen on really hard times, someone stole the $2K worth of rims and tires, but it still had the new 360 stroker and modified 727 in it. It was a complete car with 70 AMX grill, Ram Air and such. I understand the fellow who bought it is restoring it so glad to hear that! As for the 73 Hornet, I had it for sale in Houston Auto Trader for over 6 months. Had 2 bites. Also had it heavily advertised nationally but few bites. The lady liked the car as she used to own a Hornet. So all three cars still exist. The 72 AMX of mine is the AMX on the coin of the Johnny Lightning 72 AMXs years ago. I worked real close with Playing Mantis, flooding them with photos, promotional models, models, NOS color brochures and press photos, Dave Metzler was the director of diecasts then, later Alan pletcher, now a fellownamed Jeff Penny. Thats why I get a case unopened direct from China, of every new release, some I sell on ebay before they hit the market, others I stick in the attic and also one of my curio cases. The new release is a 68 Javelin in Hunter green. Something different abuot these now is not only will they use your photo, they also will include your name with the blister pack, giving you recognition! Sort of neat! I'm still hammering on them to doa Gremlin ya'll.....oh, the new JL Javelin don't have a coin like earlier ones, still a good looking white car!

Eddie,why'd you sell such a cool 73 Hornet?and why did you sell the red death and that red humpster Jav?the AMX and Jav i still cannot believe you sold i know the guy you sold em to died a year or two back so whats became of them? Bart Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes a 77-78 AMX rear louvers will fit a 71-74 AMX/Jav but you wil have to cut off the bottom two louvers. That is because the rear glass on the 71-74 is shorter than the 68-70 AMX/Jav glass. A 77-78 AMX rear louvers fits great on those, here is a photo fo ym old 68 AMX "The Red Death" sporting a set onf them. I sold her a few years ago for $3000. The 74 Hornet is a 304V8 hatchback, bought for $150, had earl scheib paint it when he was drunk for $250, and I applied the painted on stripe kit, sold that car to a lady for $1000, sure was a fun sled, it is still around too, she still drives it daily. Of, those 77-78 AMX louvers are tough to find, and good metal as opposed to some of the flimsy crap some used to sell like J. C. Whitney. Those originals ones usually command about $150/cheap to $400/high a set. The flimsy tin type are supposed to clip under the chrome, but the problem with that is they vibrate. The original 77-78 ones do notas they are thick metal. Good luck, as I personally like louvers on back of my AMC's as it helps keep the heat out and also keeps the impossible hard to find soft, and hard, interior plastics from getting destroyed by the sun, also helps the carpet, especially cut pile carpet, from turning to dust. Oh, the 77 white AMX in the background had a 401V8 in it, we drove the hell out of it, nice car, sold it 4 years ago for $1000. The fellow who bought it only wanted the 401/727 out of it as a 'dono' for one of his 73 AMXs. Welll....... after driving it daily for a week or so 80 miles round trip to NASA wherehe worked, he decided to leave it alone and restore it some more! Go Hornet!

My son just went to put the 77 Hornet AMX rear window louver in th garage for me that came a few days ago and asked me to see if I could find one for his Javelin. Personally I never saw one on a Humpster Javelin, but he said it was a factory option? I need some input from you as I am a Hornet man myself, I havent got a clue about Javelin's. Did the factory make one for the Humpsters? and what is the running price of a good one. Or would an earlier one fit? "Doc" Yahoo!
