For Sale 1969 AMC Javelin SST

[Mike D]

My mate has had this for a few years now, bought off the legendary Ratdat, he;s done about 300 miles in 5 years in it due to having kids etc, and has just bought a new house so it's time for it to go.

 

It's a 1969 AMC Javelin SST. It seems to have been a pretty competitive drag car at some point in its life, however the original cammed up high comp 390 ci engine burned a piston, so it's running a rebuilt 360ci at present. The 390 is still with it though, requiring a rebuild and new pistons still.

 

Specs are:

1969 AMC Javelin SST (390)

360ci engine

Manual! 4 speed

power steering and power brakes

rear end is, I believe, a ford 9". It has strange axles - car is ladder barred.

It's pretty damn solid. it shouldn't want any welding.

It's red! It was painted by my mate about 6 years ago, he's a sprayer by trade, but we did it in my garage so it's good but not perfect.

14" slotmag wheels

It's R plate is from back in the day registration of imports, it's definitely a '69, and is tax exempt.

 

It has been sat in his garage for the past few years, and the brakes are sticking a bit. It has no MOT at present, (ran out 2014)but with the brakes sorted I cant see much difficulty in obtaining a pass. The bumpers could do with rechroming but look respectable

.

 

I'm waiting on some more recent pics off him but it still looks pretty much identical to the following ones

 

 

He's after 6k for a no messing sale, theyre on the up price wise, especially for these early non goppingly arched ones.

 

It's near Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire. I'd really recommend viewing, and can pick you up from the train station and provide fish and chips as necessary

 

Cheers Shiters!

hmmmmm... AMC.....

 

in "the man with the golden gun", was it one of these that did the barrel roll-river jump?

 

and that is really very, very spiffin' indeed.

 

now if only i could get £6k together....

[cort16]

That

Is

FUCKING

Amazing

[Spottedlaurel]

I had a brief but amusing drive of this back in its Ratdat days.

[worldofceri]

I literally can't think of anything better to spend six grand on.

 

Sadly, if I sold all four of our cars, my guitars, our wedding rings, the kids' iPads and the cat, I still wouldn't have half that.

[pompei]

That's just around the corner from me  -  only problem is that I'm £6k short..

[hairnet]

like a even cooler 70s celica

 

hnnngg

Nah, it was an AMC Matador.... 

[MarvinsMom]

then i bow, sir, to your superior knowledge.

 

i knew it was an AMC something!

[mercrocker]

Both were styled by Dick Teague so yep they are pretty similar looking!  

[danthecapriman]

That is awesome! It's crying out for an auto box though, non of that manual malarkey!

 

GLWTS.

[New POD]

like a even cooler 70s celica

 

hnnngg

 

with marina door handles

[AMC Rebel]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[AMC Rebel]

with marina door handles

My 1968 AMC Rebel uses those same handles - but note that we beat the Marina to it

[AMC Rebel]

A mate of mine just down the road has the later model one of these with a highly tuned 360, chrome everything and fancy wheels - we've swapped a few AMC stories over the years - it'd be worth 6k* just to roll up at his place in this.

[AMC Rebel]

This is my pal's -

 

 

and mine (AMC Rebel SST convertible) with the fancy new wheels I got from Brid the other week

 

 

Mine only has the weedy 290 V8 though

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Fuckity fuck fuck, I bike across that field in the pictures all the time.. Proper my neck of the woods.

 

If only i had 6 grand. instead of about 6p

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Nice 928 in the pics too!

[Junkman]

There is one thing I know about those 360 AMCs.

They go like fucking shit!

 

Would your friend accept some sort of payment plan?

Or does he eggspect me to seriously ask me banker, who I'd prefer to lynch?

[Mike D]

Cash monies only please folks

[Coprolalia]

Ah fuck a duck, I need this in my life. Anyone know any reputable loan sharks?

[buckbuckbuckie]

I need to buy this car but won't be able to view and will need it to be transportered/trailored/delivered somehow to Buckie AB56.

 

How feasible will this be?

[Mike D]

I can get any pics you'd need / a video of it running etc, then literally WIRE ME THE MONIES and send a bloke with a trailer to collect it

[Station]

Those era US cars are fantastic, you cannot fault the look of them!

[Bren]

On my bucket list.

 

Did you know some police departments used the big engined models for pursuit?

 

My green matchbox superfast model will have to suffice - even though it looks fuck like the actual car.

[buckbuckbuckie]

Get the pics up!  The missus even likes it

[eddyramrod]

Bren, just seen this on Facebook, you might want to start searching for one...

It's by Auto Pilen apparently, so will be about 1/43.

[flat4alfa]

Nah, it was an AMC Matador.... 

 

Sorry, that's wrong

 

Bond's barrel jump car was a Hornet

 

Scaramanga drove the Matador that sprouted wings

[buckbuckbuckie]

What's the latest on this?

 

Hurry up with the pictures already

[buckbuckbuckie]

what's the deal with this?

 

is it for sale?  there is other stuff i am holding off on in the hope of getting this but if this is a no go can you let me know please
