    I can't find it on the Net, but there was a 1968 commercial about a Rebel being driven the length of Baja California (a true 1967 exploit). It featured a stereotyped Mexican bandito saying "Joo theenk joo drive zee Baja, ha ha!". Those seemingly innocent non-PC times...

    There's another Javelin ad from I think 1969 where a young Richard Dreyfus plays a hood. He did a great job.

    @Rockford Brodie: I shave my legs, not his ass!: Yeah, that movie came to my mind too as I saw that ad. Too bad AMC couldn't get Dom Deluise to be the director. The Alliance certainly counts as the "French Mistake".

    Mustangs and F-bodies are like belly buttons. Peel off the AMX badges, drive, enjoy, and be one of the few (if not only) people to show up at the car show with a pony car from Kenosha.


    I say nice price...barely.

    @Jimal: Actually, the '63 Rambler Tarpon show car (based on the all-new for '64 Rambler American platform) which presaged the Marlin's release for the '65 MY predated both. A decision was made to base the car on a larger platform for the personal-luxury segment instead, though. If they had retained the original American-based design instead of moving it to the larger Classic platform, who knows what might have happened.


    A basic overview is here: [en.wikipedia.org]

    Why would a '73 have emissions controls?


    Seems like this would be a reasonable price for a near-perfect AMX.

    @snapoversteer: Because emissions controls started showing up in the late '60s with EGR, AIR pumps and other not-so effective measures to combat NOx and other gases.


    It's not an AMX, it's a Javelin with an AMX badge on the trunk.

    @Mike the Dog will work for a Preview Button!: But the engine wouldn't have been seriously neutered until '74.


    Oh, and I meant that this price is too high for something that isn't a near-perfect AMX.

    @snapoversteer: Actually, almost all of the early emission control devices had horrible performance-disenhancing properties. Fortunately they are (usually) neither difficult nor illegal to remove (even CA doesn't care if it's a pre-'76 car).

    @snapoversteer: I must have misunderstood the AMX comment. If it were a rare configuration, numbers-matching low mileage survivor, it would indeed be a nice price.

    There's a nice clean Javelin like this for sale in town here. Its red and in solid driver shape. The guy is asking $9500 (CDN) and has been sitting on it for some time.

    Pass me the pipe. Ooooooooh...yeah, that's what I'm talking about.


    The Javelin is a cool car, and rarity does have its advantages. However, this seller seems to be trying to pass off the much more rare AMX trim on a base trim Javelin. I'm not buying it. Not when base Javelins from '72 through '74 are going for less than $10k. Only true AMX Javelins are going for $20k.

    Thats a 10k car max. The goofy fendered later Javelins are much less desirable than the first gens and this one isn't the best optioned.


    Inhale.

    Pass the pipe. It's a nice restoration on an obviously solid car, but that price is more suitable for a numbers-matching low mileage survivor. If it was a real AMX, maybe the price would be more reasonable, but a nicely restored clone is still a clone. I'll give him $6k, $8k if it wasn't cloned out (slight props to the seller for not trying to pass it off as a real AMX, but he's still on the rock).

    I sent in a tip about a '66 Fairlane last week that was in pristine condition from the original owner. Kind of disappointed that one didn't get the nod for NPOCP.

    Just seems too high for what is not even the most desirable AMC. Heck, this isn't even the best option package for a bad year. Make it a REAL 1973 AMX with the 401 and a 4-speed and I'd say nice price, either that or a Alabama Highway Patrol Javelin.
