The Javelin was in the same family until 2 years ago. 1988 High School graduation tassel still on review mirror. Earl

Previous owner pulled it from the barn. Got it running. Needs a motor rebuild and lots of clean up. Earl

Earl,

Did that car come from up my way?? It looks exactly like one I knew of back in the day. Late 70's to early 80's.

The Javelin was sold new at White Bear AMC. Original owner lived in Pine City MN. Only 217 401 cars in 74. Not many black 4 speeds. So this is could be it. Earl

As many of you know, I am one who truly appreciates AMC's.

We have an incredible group of AMC's coming together for MCACN II, and this would certainly be a neat one to add to the mix.

Please consider joining us November 20-21. www.mcacn.com Heck...that's a full 6+ months to get her cleaned up! lol
