This car waspurchased in Ga and brought to Ohio someyears ago. Since being in Ohio it has NEVER been out in the winter and has always been stored inside.The 390 I believe is original to the car as is the T10 4 speed transmission.This has been yet another car I purchased years agoto restore and has always been on the backburner. It was running when I parked it. I fogged the cylinders with oil. The motor still turns fine. I added Staybil to the fuel tank. With the proper wakeup which would include;Circulate the oil, resh spark plugs and the usual checksthe car will run no issues.

History I purchased the car just like you see it. Parked since the late 1970's. As you can see at some point a restoration was started. The interior was removed and had been stored away from the car Previous ownerstarted the body work.The 390 looks to have never been apart. The original paint on itcan be seen. It still has the original exhaust manifolds. Carb is a Holley. The Radiator is a rareearly McCord unit with the AMC Part number 3179189 The original 4 piston calipers are still in place and were working when parked.The drivers door is original. It has the original trim tag. What it doesNOT have is the usual rust. What is seen is the floors are solid. The frame and rockers are also. The trunk has scale where the tail light panel meet the floorbut like the whole car is nice.The main issues would be where the battery leaked and rusted through the tray and apron. Also a hole was drilled in the radiator support for ram air. The bottom of the radiator support looks like it had work.I have the trim that was removed from the car although I have never taken a complete inventory. I believe it is all here. I do not have the tunnel cover or the air cleaner. I tried to show you everything. If you need to know anything else let me know.

Acool factoid This Javelinhas TWO vin plates.It has the vin on the right shock tower as they all do BUT also in the top of the dash. The twomatch. There is a period of production where this anomily took place. It is explained in detail by Eddie Stakes (Planet Houston AMX)

1968 is thefirst year for the AMC Javelin. When the Javelin wasintroduced the largest engine available was the 343 4V. The 390 4V engine option was only available after the AMX was introduced as some believe that the powers at American Motors did not wantanything toover shadow theintroduction of the newAMX. The AMX enginefor the Javelinwas a half a year option.

Known issues.

The carneeds restored. Theworst damage forrust comes from a leaky battery as pictured.I did have the panel to replace just have to find it. The front bumper is tweeked and is not shown but comes with the car. The grille is broken but too is restorable.

Serious Stuff. Of course the usual blanket disclaimer to be 100% percent mint it needs a 100% restoration. What that means is that it is a vintage car . It is unrestored. It is a vintage unrestored car. It will have seeps/leaks/rattles/bumps and bruses. I have made NO attempt to cover up anything.

More Serious stuff.
