Not a lot on BaT that interests me so I'm not checking there very often BUT this one would have gotten my attention! Seems like a lot of potential for reasonable money and....not thousands of miles away frown.

I have always had a soft spot for Javelins and AMC, even though most do not.

It looks like it went for a fair price. Although the /6 and three speed probably held it back some.

Packed with body filler, and that floor patch is awful.

Yep, perfumed pig for sure...


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Trends are changing. Not everything has to be fast, especially considering the cost of fuel. But the more pedestrian cars are more familiar to the general public.
I recently had my Gremlin at a show parked next to my friends' Rebel Machine. The Machine was nearly ignored while the Gremlin drew crowds.

The problem with AMC's is that there is virtually ZERO reproduction sheet metal. So, unless you are lucky enough to find NOS, as well as rich enough.... you make do.
Me personally, I had to cut apart four different cars and sacrifice a beautiful pair of California Hornet fenders to locate the steel necessary to patch my Gremlin up.
