Rear window louvers were never a option for the 68-70 and 71-74 AMXs and
Javelins as far as I know and have researched a ton of books here, dealer
catalogs, accessories books, you name it, have never seen anything. They
were sold aftermarket, but I don't believe thru AMC dealerships.

So your telling me that there was no factory louvers for Humpster Javelins?
I have seen the thin metal ones on 2 seater AMX's many years ago and thought
the were factory. I just paid 150$ for a decent 77 AMX louver.
