I think this pic was taken Easter Sunday of '68.........had to be as I didn't have glasses yet, but would definitely need them before I started school again later that year. She later got rid of it and during the summer of '69, she got another Javelin. This one had the 390/auto with air, power steering and brakes. She would have that one for the next 10 years and yes......you just don't see them anymore on the roads. IMO, one of AMC's best designs along with the AMX!

A 70 Javelin is basically my holy grail kit because I own a 1:1 one that's white with black stripes. I'm very curious how much you paid for the model you used. Whenever I see them they are certainly not going for cheap. I also LOVE the addition of the airfoil spoiler that they put on the Trans Am cars. The vendor was asking $45 and I countered with $35, due to the questionable 3 piece frt bumper assembly. Not biting at my offer, I came back a little later and he accepted $40. I don't think he had any interest from anyone that morning but still would have paid him his asking price of he didn't bulge.....you just don't find them.

I've seen them go at least double that on ebay consistently. Unbuilt ones with boxes sell way higher too.
satterwhite78 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 I did sometime prior to buying that kit purchased a promo AMC 70 Javelin which all that it required was a good washing and polishing. ..nothing else

That's a 68. Different hood, grille, and tail lights.
