1968 AMC Javelin review from North America
"2nd best car I've owned next to my 68 Rambler American"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight leak at shift shaft seal.
General comments?
Extremely stylish, but not over the top.
232 engine is one of the very best in the history of the automobile. 145 horse power and 23 m.p.g. and you can expect the better part of 300,000 miles of service life. Ridiculously easy to work on. Almost identical to the reliable "Ramblers" of that era mechanically.
