1974 AMC Javelin AMX review from North America
"TOO much fun to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior was where the problems lived.
Bad door panels, door locks and window crank mechanisms.
The shifter was loose feeling.
Parts are difficult to find.
General comments?
This was my favorite car of all I have ever owned.
The body style was unique, the performance was outstanding and it was simply a FUN car to drive.
