“The Javelin”
For sale is a 1970 AMC Javelin. The vehicle has 647 original miles on it. This may increase slightly, as I start it
regularly and take it for short drives. The
engine is a 232-cubic inch in-line L-6 (or Slant 6). I am told that this three-speed rear-wheel
drive vehicle was in an accident at about 330 miles. The Javelin was struck on the driver’s side
front quarter panel, but the damage was repaired. I believe the front fender may have been
replaced. The motor is fine -- original;
clean; starts easily; sounds great; and runs well. The vehicle tracks well. The Javelin is very clean underneath; no
rust; no leaks. The windshield wiper
electric motor does not work; the radio does not work. The Javelin has good glass all around. I was told that the vehicle sat outside for
about 6 years. When the front quarter
panel was repaired, the entire car was repainted dark green (from silver). There are some chips and scratches in the paint. The interior is red. Everything inside is original except, I
believe, a marble clutch handle. There
is a tear across the seam of the upper rear seat. Following its repair, the Javelin spent about
32 years in storage, being started regularly, but being run sparingly. A subsequent owner stored it in his garage for
about 7 years. He, too, started it
regularly and ran it sparingly. I
purchased the vehicle in August 2015 and put a new set of BF Goodrich
Radial T/A’s tires on it ($850). It has
clean and clear title. Not a racer, but
you could put in a big engine and/or completely refurbish, or just keep it how
it is. It’s a nice, basic, clean ’70
Javelin that’s waiting for an AMC Javelin lover to make it his or her own.
