'69 AMC Javelin, designed by me.

I never posted my own build thread, so here it is:

A while ago I photoshopped an AMC Javelin, this one:

My dad and I are planning to build this car for real. At first, my dad wanted the 'typical' muscle car look with chrome rims, jacked up back, etc.
But when I showed him my photoshop, he changed his mind. :)

It's a 1969 AMC Javelin 343 SST Karmann (or 79-K).

This version, the 79-K, is the German made Javelin SST. It was produced in the Karmann factory in Innsbruck. Only 281 79-K's are produced and 3 or 4 of them are still driving around in my country.
Ours has a 343ci (or 5,6L) V8 with an auto 3-speed in it. The V8 produces 280 HP.

It has 7 build threads on various forums on the internet, and well.... now it has 8 :P


Yesterday we fired up the engine after sitting for 4 years.

Awesome! This is pretty unique, will look forward to seeing more from this project!
Ssweet! Javelin's are one of my favourite USA cars. I wasn't aware of the German version though, pretty cool!
Thanks :)

Here's a new video: We drove with the car last week for the first time in 4 years:
