1968-9 Javelin/AMX guys??
This is my old 68 AMX bracket car that I raced from around 1978 to 1995. Ran 11.0s in the 1/4 with a mild 401 backed by a TF727 and 9 inch Ford rear with 4:56 gearing. Got it to run 10.98 one night at the late, great Fremont track. Sold it in the summer of 1995 as my youngest daughter was on the way. Found it two years ago residing in a enclosed trailer near Tamworth, NH. Still has the red,white, blue paint job that I did myself in the 1980s. Didn't look bad. Current owner did a lot to it, did a back-half tub/ladder bar kit, upgraded the cage, still has the full interior in it. Tried to buy it back but just didn't work out. Hopefully I can get it back in the near future as the current owner is an older gentleman who isn't in the best of health. He also had an engine built by the late, great AMC racing engine guru Herman Lewis. I miss that car as I raced it all across the country during my active duty Navy career. Started at Gainesville Raceway in Florida, the long closed 1/8th mile track in Jacksonville, up to Maryland International Raceway, Capitol Raceway, Colonial Beach in Virginia, one time down to Englishtown, then out west to Fremont, Sonoma, Sacremento and Bakersfield. Retired from active duty in Brunswick, ME and last raced the AMX in the summer of 1994 at Oxford Dragway. The current owner knows my history with it and really wants me to have it back but he just wants an unreasonable ( to me)
price for it.
