"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.

I owed a 1973 Javelin and I had the same interior stuff, but it was a fast and fun car to drive.

Though every car has its problems, especially thirty year old cars.One must accept these not as problems,but as challenges to be over come.In an era of high priced collector cars its still nice to know you can still by a decent a.m.x. at a realistic price.

Javelins are very unique cars that are hard to find, my family has two of them and they are great cars to learn how to rebuild and make as beautiful and fast as they were originally meant to be. For as old as they are, in my opinion they have held up well and are definitely worth the time and money to restore. The AMC Javelin is the hottest muscle car out there!!

I Love my 1968 AMC Javelin. But unfortunately I have to sell my baby. I have spent the last 6 years restoring/modifying and have spent over $20,000 doing so. But I must sell it to buy a house. So if anybody is interested... take a look at

I saved my 73 Javelin from a 16 year life of sitting in a walnut orchard in Dixon Ca. in 2004.

It's been a lot of time and work to get it to where it is now, driveable.

The body is straight and the motor is strong, so I had a good base to work with. I consider myself lucky, and rewarded with a great car. It's a 360 4v 4speed car.

I don't think I will ever finish the car, but it has been a labor of love. I find myself constantly staring at the car and imagining what it would look like with a new paint job.

How do you remove the fenders off a 1974 javelin, they seem to be welded on?
