Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: [AMC-list] wanted amc javelin

You know Eddie it is all what you want. Yea I know the thrill of being kick backed in my seat and watching my speedometer head toward the 100 mark in a short distance. That was when I was a kid. Now that I am 60 my failing eye sight, slow reactions I would probably just see the tree coming at me as I lost it coming off the line. If I was lucky I would wake up in a hospital room. Like I said before most of these fire eating dragons I see at car shows never see 60mph and the only racing that is done is to get out of the parking lot after the 50/50 is drawn. So take your 6 banger remove the muffler and run you a cross over pipe so you will have two exhaust pipes coming out the back and tell everyone you have a 401 in it. 90% of these car guys would never know the difference as long as you kept the hood closed. Actually a lot of these good old boys I run into you could pop the hood and they would stand around and look and say I never saw a 401 AMC engine before. duh

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,

http://epage.com/js/mi/n0/1782082.html

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

http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/2118804135.html

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

http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/2106981278.html

Good looking 73 Javelin,

http://harrisburg.ebayclassifieds.com/classic-cars/northumberland/1973-amc-javelin-6cyl-auto/?ad=7763564

$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,
