- Welcome to American Motors Day for our 115th episode of Coffee Walk!
I think my team unearthed two of the best, rarest, finest and coolest American Motors cars ever built and I can't wait to hear what y'all think about them!
If you could only take 1 rip (a hell of a choice to make, I know), which car would you choose and why? The 1969 MC AMX SS (Jimmy Walker car) OR the 1973 Javelin AMX- Paul Cardin Edition?

I still own my 68' AMX since 1975 it's a 390 Go Pack 4-speed w/ 391 posi-track low # 01377 "Fun Ride" DC
I wanna see it, bet it's 👌
I bet my Chevrolet take ya 😂
My dream car, I envy you my friend
Dennis, thank you for saving those two rare cars, I owned one of the 52 cars and would still own it, but, life got in the way. Those AMX's also came with no rear seat and an aluminum hood. they were originally 1968 cars, but the factory wanted us to keep racing them so they sent us new front fenders, dashboard and seats in 1969, 1970, and 1972 to keep them current. It was the best race car I ever owned AND YES, IT WAS BADASS
Dennis is so approachable and humble it's unreal .
Richard on the other hand is always surrounded by his handlers , getting within 10 feet of him would be a miracle.
I'm glad Dennis is doing well, he's definitely more car guy than showman.
I,M 72 BUT I LOVE WATCHING THIS BRINGS BACK ALOT OF OLD MEMORIES
My grandma sent this to me. This is my great uncles cars. Jimmy walker, we called him uncle hooker, unfortunately passed away in November 2016 from leukemia at the age of 74 in white oak, PA. Literally 1 week after my grandfather passed away. Was a very hard time for my grandmother losing her brother and husband in 1 week. She appreciates being able to see the car is still around.Pls pin this comment
SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN A PIN
C'mon dennis.. see this n make summin happen with the grandma! 🤞
Yes Dennis #denniscollins would be nice to give a little love that way. (IMHO, this is the best car channel on YT that is not based on bad decisions on a consistent basis (looking at you Hoovie!))
Come on Dennis!!
In the era of LS motors, this beast is a perfect example of the unique sound of a 70's hi performance motor. It can't be duplicated. It's an evil sounding bastard and I love it.
The AMX was,in my opinion the most underrated muscle car of the day.Love that car more than the big boys.
So True I loved the AMX more then any other muscle car
The Javelin and the AMX were very cool cars that never got the recognition they deserved. These two are the best I've ever seen.
Definitely agreed!!!! Love me some AMC cars.
My friend wanted a fast car back in the 1980s. So I talked my neighbor into selling him his 1969 AMX that had a rebuilt engine all the body work was done so we took it for a test drive my friend was in the back laying down on the floor because they came with no back seat and the owner was sitting in passenger seat he was to damn scared to move and my friend was crying that was one wicked car.my friend bought the car but it was too much for him and so my best friend bought it and raced it on the track untill je totaled it out. I had a lot of fun driving it. I can't remember what motor I believe it was the 343 or 390.
My first car was a 69 javelin sst 390 4speed very cheap in the 70s
Agreed, funny enough I just picked up a 1966 AMC Marlin! But I love these AMCs as well!

The Javelin is my favorite muscle car of all time. Super clean design, great old AMC engines, there's so much to love.
Every time I see an AMX I remember the commercial for them. The son brings it home and dad saying "There's no back seat!" It was an extremely cool time for cars. Saw AARP 'Cuda's at the dealership in '71 when dad took us shopping for a new car. Ended up with a Satellite Sebring Plus, because "Family" but Dad took me out and ran it up to 140 to "Clean the plugs". Things I'll never forget.
Hehe.... When I had my 68 AMX, I was always having to tell people that "Yes, AMC built a two-seater!"
140 in a sebring?
Phenominal works of art. RIP Amc.
Said at 1:15 "the best most real automotive content" that is why this is so much better then your other part time platform Fast & Loud because here we see the raw honesty and knowledge without unrealistic deadlines and skits that so many other automotive shows have fallen victim to. Keep up the great work Dennis!
Them deadlines are not unrealistic he did it live on Facebook and RUclips he built a truck in one week Gas Monkey Garage check it out
They are lovely looking car and I wouldn’t blame you to still have it because when it’s gone it’s gone as you know!!!
Did you ever see the amx that Tomis weeks on fired up garage they done a blue one and they couldn’t get many parts for it and Any thing they got they paid a fortune for them!!
God bless ya all and don’t sell or part with your amx 😂 😂 😂 😂👍
Absolutely love Dennis’ enthusiasm with every car his shop gets in or builds. Not to mention his extensive knowledge!
I was in Myrtle Beach, SC on spring break in 1975 and saw a 401 Javelin cruising the strip, he did a burnout for the crowd, never forget it.
Always owned either an AMX or Javelin. Absolutely love admiring my '68 & '69 in my garage. They turn heads and are one of a kind.
Javelin is the most under appreciated muscle car of the era.
Pete you are 100% right! And the most beautiful as well!
Exactly Pete
I'm in dire need of help to identify mine, '74 AMC, 304
Restoring it, need a good place to buy parts and information about the original identity so I can get it right
@@garysheridan2787 If I could help you out Gary I would, but I don't know about that. The only suggestion I would have is start with a AMC group. Maybe an AMC group or two on Facebook...................... 😉
@@garysheridan2787 Gary, do you have the VIN? It is a challenge to find NOS parts.
Love the AMX. A sports, drag car.
The Javelin is the best looking one I’ve ever seen.
When I was 19, which 53 now, I bought a 71 AMC JAVELIN which came from factory with a 401.1 and it was a one owner. I loved it . Glad to see someone finally doing one
Bought same car in late 80s. 2nd car I owned as a teenager...the torque that had impressed me.
WAnted to keep it long term but was poor in those days
Thanks for the memories, in 1978 as a teenager that just totaled his first car I bought a javelin with a 401 for 1500 bucks, and I road it hard and put it away wet. I grew up I a small town in Massachusetts and was over a few towns when in my rear view mirror I seen the blues lol, and I put the pedal to the medal and left him the dust. That’s my claim to the outlaw world lol. Great” glory days “ memories for me. Thank you Dennis
Two of my all time favorite cars in one picture. The AMX Javelin Pierre Cardin Edition AND the Jeep Grand Wagoneer Limited in Blue. Holy smokes what a video.
My father worked for AMC corporate in Michigan, we got all the cool cars when I was a kid🇺🇸
Is your Dad still living? If so he probably will know my Dad( R.R.Hogue).My Dad worked at corporate in Michigan as well.We are Canadian,but he worked and lived in Michigan for a few years before returning to become President of AMC in Canada.
Dennis, glad that you have an appreciation for the Javelin AMX, what it accomplished in NASCAR and TRANS AM racing under Penske and they're rarity. I am the original owner of a 1972 Javelin AMX 401 that has some rare features. Mine when you start it up (all stock) sounds just like your '73. Since new, I have never seen many on the road and not one month went by when I drove it daily that someone didn't stop me on the road to ask about it. Its a wonderfully built car, have had ZERO problems with it, and its a joy to tune up. The AMC engine is excellent, but AMC knew when to add those components hot rodders back in the day wanted, ie. a Delco distributor, Chyrsler torqflite or Borg Warner 4spd transmission, Kelsy-Hayes wheels and disc brakes, Hurst shifter and a MotorCraft 4300 carb used on the Shelby Mustang. My buddies back in high school were swapping in those parts to there Chevys, Fords and Mopars, while the Javelin AMX had it straight from the factory, all tuned in. My '72 AMX is a joy to own, drive or just to look at its amazing shape. Alabama state troopers chose them as police interceptors for good reason. Enjoyed your video and thanks, will become a subscribers. BTW, Richard Rawlings stays away from AMC, he says "Good luck finding parts". Though its a rare car, restoring and keeping a Javelin AMX running has never been a problem, "look and yee shall find", plenty of websites. Scott Johnkins
Dennis, Way back in 1976 I worked for Marty Rubenstein owner of Marty R's AMC on Garland road, Garland TX. I started out as a porter and worked my way into the parts department. Occasionally one of the "cool" AMC cars would come through the shop. One of my favorites was a Mark Donohue Special in dark blue. It was bought there new by an airline stewardess. Aside from the paint being in poor shape due to it's being parked outside for long periods of time, it was immaculate. Very low miles as would be expected. One of the long time mechanics there, (Charlie Warden) drove a gold '69 AMX needless to say it was perfect. We also had a little old lady that brought her car in for service every 3 months. She drove a '57 Rambler Ambassador in pink. Dallas PD also used AMC's those to had the 401. Me ? I drove a silver with blue striping '73 Gremiln X Levis. Enjoy your channel, all the best...
Owner of a Cardin AMX here, mine's a P Code jet black car....thanks so much for this!!!! What a lot of people don't know is that in the last two years of Javelin Production, they outsold the Challenger or Barracuda,
Dennis , you have good taste . A friend of mine sold me a 69 javelin with a 390 which of course I played with . Carbureted intake cam gears . I lived in the Washington DC area and I race that capital . Maryland international Raceway . Which was then called something else Buds Creek. But for the day the car ran pretty good . Ran the low 13's . Street driven car . Then to friends of mine and I bought a hurst AMX in Syracuse New York completely bone stock . We decided to race it . It would only run in the low 11's . So we bought the mother of all AMX . We bought Pete Peterson's record holding Pete's patriot. We repainted it so no one would know what it was . It ran 10:70s easily . I then worked for champion spark Plug company . The zone office for American motors was in McLean Virginia . They would not sponsor us . But they gave us engines transmissions and gears . We had to put a dealerships name on the car that they had just opened in Maryland . It was Also sponsored by Pete Mendez the speed shop , champion spark plugs and Monroe shock absorbers . The two cars were owned by three people I was one of them . Of course we split up . One guy bought us out . And I went to boat drag racing . Petes patriot would be priceless if you could find it. It won the national's when pet Peterson owned it. He lived in Kearny Nebraska . We bought the car directly from him . The last I knew o the car it was in Panama City Florida . Surely Shehand , had one of them , Pete Peterson , and the guy that had one a painted like a zebra . Ray winery . He went 10:40s for the day that was really fast because they didn't have good tires . And you were not allowed to run big tires and super S/C . I love these cars . Crane did all the cylinder head work for four hurst on these cars .They also came with Shafer clutch assembly Borg Warner super T 10 four-speed and of course a hurst shifter. I do have some pictures but not many . I was back in the 70s . If you have an email address I will forward them to you . Those javelins handles so damn well on the street you cannot believe it .
Pete's patriot is right here as of 2013 when this video was made ruclips.net/video/pssTKaUJBNU/видео.html
AMX one of the least known factory hotrods built in the USA.
I wish I never sold my 69. 🙁
From here in Europe reading Road & Track etc we never understood why AMC were never bigger than they were. To me & my friends eyes at the time they made some great cars, on paper, competing with the bigger names.
@@vitalaza866 the gas problems of the 70s and 80s really screwed amc over, then they had the misfortune to be bought out by Renault, then even less fortunately Chrysler. In a way you could say they live on through Jeep, but not really since they've finally replaced the old AMC I6
@@KrikZ32 Now they own mb in part? Last good year of those to buy was 02 nothing but crap quality issues since, gee Im not surprised.
Test drove a 69 AMX with the "go package" when I was about to turn 16. My dad wouldn't let me have it as he said I'd never see 17.
Lookin' back on it do ya think that he was probably right? (& be honest please!). Out of curiosity, what ended up as bein' your first car then?
I was 10 in late 1969. What a awesome time in history! I may be getting old, but I wouldn't change a single thing! I LOVE Muscle Cars!💯💖🇺🇲😎...
💥 FORDEVER & EVER BABY!!💥
I bought a new 1967 Rambler American 2dr sedan with the 290, 4 spd, twin grip, pwr. steering and pwr. brakes. When it was delivered, we installed the factory Crane cam kit, headers and dual exhaust for an AMX (same floor pan)! It sounded much like your '73 Javelin! I also ordered factory 4:44.1 rear gears but neve installed them. It was a quick little beast but that cam was way too much for the cubic inches and it tended to run a little rich. Sure wish I had it back. The next year the offered the 343 in the American and I was pissed! Thanks for letting us see these two AMC's
Dennis, you RUclips drops are a highlight of the week! Thanks for your enthusiasm about cars. Andy in the UK.
I was a kid in the 70’s, and there was a Jeep-AMC dealership in my home town. I got to see those Amx, and Javilin’s new. The special paint RWB cars were awesome!! Love these cars!!!
I had a chance to buy a 1970 Trans Am red white and blue 390 4 speed ram air javelin. ( one out of one hundred built) it had been painted white because the original owner didn't like the attention it was getting. (police) The gentleman died and his family did not want to part with it. he also had a 1963 corvette that he never drove. he enjoyed driving the Javelin more. he lived just a mile from my house. to me that car is the HOLY GRAIL of all the Javelin's. thank you Dennis for lending a voice for the AMC loving community. I own a 1973 Javelin. It's a P- code 360 B/W 4 speed console with the rarer 15 inch rally wheels with volcano caps. Rescued it from 16 years of sitting in a barn at a walnut orchard. took a year to get her back on the road. Love the car. Always will. Keep up the good work on finding these great orphaned cars!!!
I had a 71 Javelin SST that I wish I still had. That car was a good handling fun to drive car, it's been exactly 40 years ago!
I remember my 71 AMX. The easiest car I ever owned to put headers on. Used Thrush header mufflers, remember those? Dennis' suit is a good match for the Pierre Cardin AMX.
Had a 74 javelin for 33 years , blown,tubd,cage, 964 hp/ 9 sec.
BEAST,,,,! Sold it.. :( now building a 70 AMX.. w 401. Cant wait to get it done.. love that sound of 73,, great video btw.. keep up the great work!
Ps... nice pants... 😂
What a beautiful Javelin. You all are making me miss mine from the early 70's. Thanks for sharing.
owned one of the two hurst amx's sold in canada.i raced the car with support from amc canada from 1969 until 1975 when the car was destroyed in a car club fire.i also owned a 1971 javelin sst with the 401 engine.i bought it for my son when it was taken off the drag strip.we are currently waiting to restore the javelin. jim
Bout time, somebody did something on the AMX, grew up with AMC's in the driveway and still love them to day!
Damn 2 holy grail AMC’s
Shiver down my spine when you fired up the Javelin. Absolutely beautiful vehicle ❤️
Dennis PLEASE PLEASE DON’T EVER get rid of these cars EVER you are the only person who these cars can be trusted to. Growing up in STL In the early 70s Ric Jonson had a built 401 in. Gremlin he roamed the neighborhood pulling wheelies Great memories. Thanks for finding these.
Beautiful. My first new car was a ‘73 AMX, 360. Of course, the first thing I did was a Crane cam, and headers, because that’s what you did in 1973...
Like runnin a racehorse in its stall. lol
Javelin was my very favorite car, when l was a boy.
I was 11 years old when these sweethearts came out a l still love em.
Thanks for the memories.
Hello Dennis
In the 70’s, I had a brochure/ catalog from AMC on their racing program.
Including pro-stock engine’s , all parts used, machining required.
Unfortunately, I loaned it to a friend who was building a modified jeep, never to be seen again.
Enjoy your Coffee Walk, best on YT.
I got my Drivers License in my Grandma's 1974 Javelin when I turned 18 , I can still see the Driving Test instructor hanging on for dear life ! Thanks for showing one ! 😎👍
Thanks for this.as a car guy those AMC were cool.. pretty good road racers to..lost history with AMC
Dennis, today while I was driving in my blue 1980 CJ7 with the top and doors off and blasting “Born In the USA”, a bald eagle landed on my roll bar. I had no idea that I was about to be outdone.
I have a 1973 Pierre Cardin javelin AMX, paint code F3 (fresh plum metallic), 401, 4sp, 3:91 posi with 28,000 orginal miles. Based on the Pierre Cardin registry its the only one registered with this exact configuration. It's been sitting in a climate controlled garage just waiting to be restored since the late 80's. Seeing videos like this get me take me back, to street racing, and who could leave the longest burnouts.
Wow....just Wow!!! You either loved or hated the AMC cars....I personally, loved them!! Thank you for the video, and man that is unreal!!!
We love you Dennis!! I make a cup of coffee every morning and watch coffee walk! I recently Inherited a 31 Ford model A coupe and a 55 Chevy Bel Air convertible from my grandfather that passed away. That made me get super interested in cars and I have been watching all of your videos ! Love you buddy keep up the good work!!
I'll buy that 31 if you decide to sell :)
I had a friend that recently sold his SS/AMX that his dad's AMC dealership ordered and raced. He had all of the documentation for the car, plus pictures of it being delivered.
Hello, may I ask which S/S AMX that was? Thanks
Super sweet! My elementary school principal’s secretary drove a forest green with a hurst T shifter.
Man I loved that car! At only 9 yrs I loved that Car and the secretary was pretty easy on the eyes as well!
Early adolescence!
I was an American Motors fan from back in the day My cousin had a Rambler Scrambler that we would go terrorize the cruisin strips on Fri/Sat nites. A lot of fun growing up in the late 60’s & early 70’s!
Dennis needs a full hour weekly show on prime tv. People might actually learn something
No way.. Its more real on utube.. TV is all fake..
Coffee Hour
If I remember right, Discovery Ch. was talking to him about his own show when Fast n’ Loud was a big hit. I don’t know what the big hang up was and why it didn’t go forward.
@@evolati12 because he doesn't want fake drama in his life..
Nope he does not if he was on prime time Tv it would be scripted to death.
So knowledgeable, watched with headphones and almost blew my ears off. Thanks Dennis brilliant. 😂
I would take a rip in the Pierre. My very first car was a '73 Javelin. It was a rustbucket, but I still liked it. To drive one that rare and that clean would be a treat.
I worked for an AMC dealer in the 70's, picked up a '68 AMX 390 auto with Posi that a customer traded in. What a great road trip car ! Perfect for our West Coast [B.C.] mountain highways. Three semis laboring up a 6% grade at 30 MPH ? No problem, just point and squirt... Loved that car, wish I'd kept it.
Love the way that thing sounds!!!
Yeah, not gonna lie.. I got a little turned on by t thump th Javelin had..
That jimmy walker car is amazing!
Not complaining but im used to dennis being so knowledgeable normally the videos arent edited.. just 1 informative take.. weird to see so many cuts in this vid. Again not complaining.. as these videos are great! Always click on them as soon as i get notified! 👍
I worked at the main AMC plant in Kenosha in 73! I probably helped put that engine together, on the engine line! What was surprising was how many police special 401's went thru the line to be put in Matadors, forged cranks, and heavy duty parts all! If you can find one of those Police 401 engines, you have a good start!
I have always liked the quirky American Motors offerings. Must admit i was kinda lonely, but you just proved my point! And I had no idea these examples even existed! Thanks my friend!
My dad had a Levi’s edition 73 hornet. He worked for AMC in Hamilton. He ordered the car and had it built for him. He watched that car being built before his eyes. 304 three speed Hurst shift kit and dual exhaust. That was a cool ass car!
Do you have any photos? Sounds awesome
These are a one off, super rare, one of one 💯
Certainly the hottest AMC cars ever! They're exciting. It's sad AMC is no more, l liked all their cars, even their econo cars.
That was crazy driving next to the garage, the 73 Javelin AMX gets up and goes!. It's hard to believe it's almost 50 years olds, it's a beautiful car.
I had a 73 Amx in g4 paint for 7 years.Was a trouble free car.was 3 yrs old with 53k.miles,in almost new condition.Was stupid to part with it but a good friend pestered me to sell it.Dad sold Amcs for 10 years at Colonial amc.Brother had a Hornet 304, ran good.Thanks for the video.
The 3800 series 2 motor in the Buick Lesabres/Park Avenues are arguably some of the best most reliable (bullet proof) motors ever produced even to this day. You should do a video on them! :)
My Dad had a new 68 Ambassador so I spent a bunch of time in a AMC. Good video...
I owned a p.o.s. '71 AMX 444 out on Guam for a few months in 1978. No power steering, so you build muscles trying to turn that beast.
But once the essential repairs were made, it did show it could melt the dang road. It was a beast.
Thank You Dennis! Fond memories. Growing up, Tim's brother Jeff had a 68' Javelin SST 390 Dual Quad. His pride and joy. And yes very true. Hardly a gun fight was ever lost. I was witness to a great one. That guy got his ass handed to him with the 3 of us in the car!!
I love your love of AMC! Great stuff Dennis and thanks for the video!
My cousin had a red/white/blue Mark Donahue 390/4speed. Buddy of mine still has it but she’s rough.
Cool cars for sure.
Is it for sale?
@@michaelbrownie7718 I doubt it, but I can find out. It hasn’t run/driven in years.
Jim T
Ok let me know
GREAT VIDEO.. wow does that ever bring back a lot of memories now 55 we used to drive AMX Javelin back in high school red black interior wow pretty cool car John from winterpeg Canada
Got to say missed this one the other week but wow out of all the stuff you have shown us with the old muscle cars
These two take the cake
That last one is an absolute treasure 👍👍😍😍😍
Incredible amazing one of a kind 🤗
This guy is hoarding up Grand Wagoneers too. I bought a sweet 88 GW in 2006 for $4,750. Same GW is going for 6-7 times that $ now.
gotta love the collection of Waggoneers in the background!!!
I love this episode, In 1975 I was in the USAF in Minot ND and had a 1973 green AMX with the 401 in it but mine was a step above the one you have, mine was the 4 speed and was built from the factory as a race car, lol ND did not know it was not supposed to be a street car lol, from a Grateful that I want to say thank you for a great memory
You got Richard beat with that suit!
Love the jacket that’s just cool
I'd like Dennis to wear it every week !
I want one to wear to work
@@benruether8294 Hope you don't work with any leftists, they will get offended.
@@nathankoroush7918 i am a leftist, why would i get offended?

God Bless all Americans!
Back in the early 70's they were several of those Red, White and blue cars in Richland's Virginia.... Those Coal miners new how to play.....Where I got my love for racing...😎
RAMBLER RANCH IN COLORADO, HE HAS THEM ALL
Jimmy walker was my grandfather, man I wish he never sold it
Hello @Jameson Walker, would love to hear or see anything you might care to share about the history of the Jimmy Walker S/S AMX. Can provide contact info if you might be so inclined. Let me know, Thanks
Wow,that sucks...I know exactly how it feels to have a family member tear a really cool car that I grew up with
from my grasp...(he was dead set on me not having it and after I put loads of time and money into it,he sold it)
@@ytwhite5930 I hear you man ! Here’s a good one...My 43 year old son has a 63 impala convertible that I helped him get when he was 18 . He has 3 young boys he’s saving it for ! It’s already restored!
Loved AMC. Owned Jeeps, a J-10, 3Eagle wagons 4x4 (my favorite). They were so easy to work on and straight forward. Literally changed a starter in an Eagle 6 cyld. in less than 10 minutes.
You are killing it in that suit Dennis!!!!
You've officially redeemed yourself from hanging out at the gas monkey garage. Super cool
He never needed redemption Dennis was a class act on Fast and Loud just like he is here. Just because you think Richard is a tool bag doesn't mean Dennis thinks so.
Mine is a 1973 AMX I’ve had since delivered from the factory..
Had a70 AMX hunter green with the white stripe it was a corvette killer wish i never sold it
@@bobmay9887 in 1970 it was called Glen Green... Hunter green was 1968 and 1969..... I have a 1970 Glen Green AMX with 42,000 miles on it... 390 4 spd...... It was previously owned by Dick Teague who designed the car... It is all original show car... I have owned it since 1982.... I will be offering it for sale this year but it won't be cheap.... shoulda bought 2 ! ;)
@@tommytomtom5531 Yeah thinking back I had it repainted hunter green like that deep dark color what do you think you’re going to be asking for yours I might be in the market
sounds like you just added two new rides to your collection? can't wait to see you lighten the front end of your red white and blue!!! looking forward to it! And Thanks for Sharing!
I have some history with AMC and this video nearly brought me to tears. Can't wait to find video of what has become of that RWB/AMX.
So glad he didn't go out on the streets in that suit.
Lol ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
it's Texas he would have been fine.
I’m the 1 first in UK 🇬🇧 👍👍👍👍👍
Eduardo Toso not
I love the way you roast those tires on that AMX. Yes!!!!
Thank you for keeping history alive,was a teen then had a 70 chevelle ss,love the old butt beaters
Dennis where is Jim Morrison's mustang? If anybody knows it's you.
I haven't thought about "The Blue Lady" in a long time:) The accounts I read all say Morrison never went back for it after he wrecked it - and he was known for doing stuff like that. Only prayer for it is that someone bought it from a police impound auction.
Dennis, why's the Jimmy Walker car got a wide auto style brake pedal, and where's the clutch pedal?
That is not the wide automatic car brake pedal, that is the 4-speed brake pedal, and one must pause and look close, but the Clutch Pedal is there, it's just all the way down on the floor almost out of sight.
@@olsketchmo my apologies. It looked wide enough to be the auto pedal to me when I couldn't readily see the clutch pedal.
Nice cars, a recent post too. I have always been an AMC fan mainly the AMX and Javelin. Owned a 1970 AMX 390 V8 automatic and a 1970 Javelin 304 V8 3 speed on floor. Right now I have a super nice 1974 International Custom 100 pickup 1/2 ton with the factory Installed AMC 401 V8. Automatic, duel exhaust with the Dana 354 Rear end. Bought the truck because it had the great AMC engine in it. Not very many of these seen around. Very much AMC related.
I had an AMX 72 javelins. It was a fast, sporty looking very pleasurable to drive. I loved it and hated to let it go!
The 1973 Javelin AMX was my first new car. It was black with a white vinyl top. It was powered with the 401 and was automatic. I had the Pierre Cardin interior and the go package. The Go package included a aluminum swirl dashboard. I bought from a dealer on Old Bridge Rd in East Brunswick, NJ. I paid a bit over $4200 for it. That was a lot of money back then. A week off the showroom floor I was at Raceway Park and I believe it did a 14.2. American Motors was using the Torqueflight 727 for the autos. It did not stay stock. The hard park was finding parts. Endlebrock single plane-850 Holley-Hooker headers which fit like crap-Crane cam-etc. At one point I had a set of heads done by Booth-Arons fitting big block Chevy valves and some porting. Later on I had a roll cage and a 4 leave-link suspension. Unfortunately in 80 it took a walk. I had also picked up a 73 360 AMX in Big Bad Blue with a 4 speed. I didn't like the 360 and the clutch linkage was a nightmare. I also had a few Gremlin-Xs with 304s. If you were able to find a Trams-AM block, it did not have the size cast on the side. It could be bored out to 401. You could drop a 401 into a Gremlin and nobody could tell. In fact a Jeep racer ended up buying my Booth-Arons heads.
1973 was the last year AMC actually mattered. The 74 401 had different heads and wasn't quite the same. The 75 AMX was a joke based on a Hornet. Just like the Nova based GTO I think came out the same year.
That is a beautiful AMX. The only thing I would question is the pin strip on the side. AMC had a thicker side strip but it could not be ordered with a vinyl top.
Seeing this car makes me wish I still had mine as my toy to play with in my old age.
Thank you Dennis for your enthusiasm and respect for American Motors. I've always loved American Motors automobiles and really appreciate what they did on a shoestring budget compared to the big three. Richard Teague was an incredible designer who is so overlooked. My dream car is the 1969 AMX and my guilty pleasure is the Gremlin.
I always wanted an AMC JAVELIN AMX. I was a little too young for that car. But later in life, I had a couple of AMC CONCORDS. First one was a 1982 Concord 4dr. Sedan. The second one was a 1981 Concord Wagon. Had fun with them.
I noticed "coffee" has become the trendy way to present oneself on you tube. Coffee with Kyle is another one.
