THIS is NOT a parts wanted thread mods!!! I am simply networking to see who on FABO is into these and maybe has connections with parts I might need. I have always done my best asking friends if they know a friend that knows a friend!! But... I will place a Wanted ad in that spot!!! Looking.
Really. I am in process of buying a 69 Javelin that will need some parts and pieces. This stuff is a little scarce, sorta like some Mopar stuff!
Its a roller, a car that was raced almost from new. Pretty darn solid, a great bargain IF it was all there, but it ain't!!!
 
Thanks for the heads up. Got any pics? My sis had a 68 Javelin back in about 72 or 73. I took it to prom. It was a cream puff.
 
What are you looking for? My buddies AMX...

There used to be an AMC/AMX club in Houston. A good friend that I went to school with was the president at one time. I'll reach out to him & see if he is still involved, & let you know.

I am still on the fence about pulling the trigger. The car was bout by second owner in 71 and raced forever on local tracks, The it sold and a guy dropped in a 454 and street raced it in the sticks. Solid old car, just missing some costly parts!!
 
I'm about finished with this one. I got a front bumper from AMD and it looks good. The problems I ran into was headliner I got mine to work with allot of work and my windo fuzzies finally shipped after 2 months of waiting. Be aware the Borg Warner auto will not mate to the later 304-360-401 engines I had to get a 727 to go with my 360

I love those cars. AMC V8 and a 727 are not too hard to find. It would be hard for me not to grab it. Good luck!
 
The second one is mine. The first ones a friend 6.0 cert carbon fiber doors fenders etc. Look at the door handles they are stickers. One bad *** car.

Glad to hearAMD has that bumper!
Does the AMC engine take a MoparTF or is it a different bell pattern on the TF??

I am still looking at what missing parts will cost. It was never cut on for racing other than some small gauge added to left side of dash and frames tied which does not bother me. 95% rust free solid Tx car. It did have a lower half of rear qtr done at some point. Just needs bondo ground off there and straight old car. I am sure guy in the rust belt wold happily grab it IF they did not live 1000 mi away! Still thinking!
 
Javelin's are cool! They just kind of have their own look and bloodline which makes them rare and uncommon. I got a new respect for them in about 1980 I was driving a 68 Pontiac firebird 400 4 speed 410 gears it was strong! When my buddy pulled beside me in a 69 4-speed javelin 343, it was on ! side by side at 100 miles an hour before I lifted because of a oncoming 35 mph corner he failed to negotiate it and roll the car in front of me. He was okay but there was one less javelin in the world.
