["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Something I have mentioned before with the six bangers is Ed Fernandez used to win (and 
probably still does) Top Eliminator in his six banger powered Gremlin up in Cecil County. 
I believe he was turning 11's in it, quite a sight to see zipping down the track, sort of 
like watching a Buick Grand National or GNX with a turbo six go down 1/4 mile, sounds like 
someone letting air out of ballon until you see the board flash 12s or 11s then go WTF!

Good to see though not all the six banger Javelins ended up parts cars for AMX. I know 
Marc (who strated this thread) has been trying to sell a good looking 71 Ambassador for 
awhile,

reasonable, and don't want someone to simply buy, yank engine and discard rest like som 
many have done thru decades with four door and wagons and well, six cylinder changeouts.

With that in mind here is a Christmas list of six cylinder Javelins that need homes. Wife 
Paige said we might be looking at $5 gallon of gas again next year (she works oilfield 
comnay here in Houston) so maybe good time to buy a six banger Javelin:

1968 Javelin

I'm pretty sure this Javelin is also a six, note all the MOD package stuff on the 1968:

74 Javelin with six, note background nest of Javelins & AMXs

Good looking 73 Javelin,

$920 bought this nice (my opinion) 72 Javelin with six:

note original color under hood.....

So hopefully some of those above will find homes, happy hunting,
