AMC Javelin AMX (1972)
for sale

Price: US $8,500.00

Description:

This is a very solid and desirable Z code AMX that is ready for restoration. I purchased the car in 2015 with the intention of doing a complete restoration and have started another project and lost interest in this one. It was a running, driving car when I purchased it. I brought it home, drove it around the block and then started taking it apart.
The car spent most of it's life in northern CA and therefore is pretty solid. Floors, fenders, doors, hood, rockers (inner and outer), fender troughs are perfect. Addressable issues are in the rear of the car in the lower quarter panels(common on these cars) and in the trunk. There are two or three very small areas less than a square inch in floor pan that have been cut and trimmed for repair. The worst is the area where the staggered shock mount is which appears to be damaged from an air shock blow out not rust. I have good sheet metal from donor cars that goes with the car for the repairs.
This is a very desirable car when done as it is a true black on blace AMX with the Z code 401 and other good options including A/C, PS, Tilt, Automatic. Looks like it originally had an electric rear window defroster but the switch and controls are gone. The car was originally a triple black car with a black vinyl top. I have the top trim if you desire to restore to orginal. The car is 99.9% complete as far as I know and in fact have many extra parts that I have been collecting for the restoration. Chrome and bumpers are very nice as well as the AMX cowl hood and the ultra hard to find grill tub and screen. The tub is perfect except for two of the mounting tabs are broke. These two parts alone are worth $1500-2000. The factory rally wheels are very nice with what appears to be new tires mounted to them. Again, the wheels are worth $1500.
I have had the seats front and rear re-upholstered with Legendary vinyl at a cost of $1500. The rest of the interior is in excellent shape including the dash pad, gauge cluster etc. In fact I purchased a NOS tach for the instrument cluster. Also you will get new underhood wiring purchased from one of the AMC vendors. Lots of extra parts to go with the car. I don't know exactly how much I spent on parts but I would guess it is in excess of $3000 in various stuff.
The engine is complete and now apart sitting at my engine builders shop where I dropped it off a year ago. Hasn't been touched so that is the way you will get it. It was running and driving when I pulled the drivetrain. The engine is disassembled to the short block and I have all engine accessories including power steering, A/C components, pulleys, etc that go with it. Everything that was removed from the car was put into plastic storage containers and fasteners bagged and stored.
All said you will be getting a very desirable model of AMC's vintage muscle and worth every bit of $30K when done. You have a head start on the restoration with the car being disassembled. I put the fenders, hood and doors back on the car for shipping purposes. I will also be happy to re-install the engine short block for shipping if you request. The rest of the parts will likely fit inside the car for shipping. Obviously the car is inoperable so PLEASE take this into account when you get your shipping estimates. My zip is 77354. I have listed the car for way less than what I have in it (orginal purchase plus parts) and believe the price is very fair. I am offering a best offer option and reasonable offers will be considered. Offers below a certain value will be automatically rejected and no I don't want to reveal what that number is. I don't really need to sell the car but could use some space and yes the funds would be nice to have to finish another project. Any questions will be answered in a timely fashion through the ebay system. Thank you for taking a look at my car.
