Nitro...sold a Javelin? Damn! one of my favorite cars EVER, next to the AMX and the first gen Torino and the '70-72 Cutlass and a few others...

I hope your dad gets the AMX. I passed on a '70 Javelin about 7 or 8 years ago and i've been kicking myself in the butt ever since[:@] it was a rust-free car in Michigan...how often does THAT happen?

yeah i hope we get the AMX too its good to know that we have AMC fans on here, thats rare, yeah the car was perfect rolled of the showroom floor condition all we did was put the wheels and dual exhaust on it its even the original paint! heres the only thing we have left of it, some pics. we got $15,000 for it so we did good tho. an wow yeah that is really rare to find a rust free car in michigan lol.

Every weekend I drive buy a shop that has at least 3 amx's or javelins and wonder when I am going to buy one for myself, As of now my dad and I have too many projects going so we don't have the time to build one but the day will come soon hopefully.

Those TT's really look great on that car and it is a great color too.

u peaked my curiosity, are they for sale, just sitting? cuz we are looking for an amx. yeah the price on amcs are really going up

mirage-twin

It's a shop that buys wrecked cars and fixes them up, they have one finished AMX and I think two unfinished javelins. The AMX has been for sale for a while but it doesnt look too good up close, they must have rushed the resto. I don't know the status on the unfinished cars but If you like I can check it out for you.

yeah that wold be cool what year are the javs, and how much did he want for the amx, is it pretty sad? thanks man

mirage-twin

What condition car are you looking for? two of them are really beat up needing a full ground up restoration and the AMX is complete but done very poorly, I wouldnt recommend these cars unless you want something to restore.

I will stop by as soon as I can to find out prices and years.

well we would prolly only be interested in the AMX cuz we are looking for something that needs a little work, so if you could find out what he wants for it that would be awesome. if the price is reasonable we would be interested. also see if u can find out 3 things: motor size? 4 speed? go pac car? thanks man for doing this i appreciate it, just pm me when u find out something, or u can just post on here thanks.

i dunno about anybody else, but i'd rather start with a crappy complete car than a mint car missing a bunc of stuff

My Feedback: (2)

well yeah it depends on the car and how bad it really is, we have limited funds so we are not going to do a total resto

mirage-twin

I went by the place yesterday and the AMX is is sold.

I'll let you know if they get another.

looks great man, nice car! i love thoes old firebirds. well we finnaly got an amx its a 69 390 go pac car that needs a little motor work, it was set up for racing and on the third pas on the new motor the guy herd a noise and parked it and pulled the motor, we put a wanted add on craigs list and he contacted us, turns out a minor weld broke, no big deal and the car is otherwise perfect black with white stripes and charcol leather interior, all new discs and front suspention too, along with torq thrusts and lower profile tires, it looks sweet il post some pics when i get some

My Feedback: (2)

well heres a couple pics of our amx, this is pics of it in oregone at the guys house that we bought it from, it looks the same now, the one pic is of how it looks now, with the motor out, and one of how it did look, its not missing anything everything was included with the car, it was set up for drag tho, so the springs in the front along with the shocks need to be changed, also it has line lock on the brakes, the motor was new but the adapter that they welded, yeah welded, on to the flexplate to make the tranny work broke off, so a new machined one has to be made but that was all that was wrong with the car, other that the guy was obsessed with the red white and blue combo and as u can see painted everything, including the radiator and the fan, we will put it all back to black.
