Size:  34.0 KBI like to bring fellow AMC lover together ,on the pro-Touring trend, Together on 1 page ,and the same page ,
      with that outside the box thinking of why the pro trend should include the ugly duckling , red headed step child of the car world ,
      I wish to see us get 3 - to a 4 page spread in a magazine one day instead a 3 paragraph or a brief description of the car .then they move on to a Camaro / Chevy ,
      let us speak our ming connect link and creat link to show wich amc is beating the chevy and mustang out there .
      1: question what would the chrysler designers do with the Javelin now ? hummmmmmm

      I'm not sure that I understand what you're getting at here. I'll give you that the ColoradoAMX build could stand to have wider tires. At both ends, since the flares are already present. But I wouldn't exactly consider the car to have an appearance that clashes with itself or is otherwise "out of proportion". Seriously, what it it that you're seeing that I'm not?

      Stock - as in 1970's stock - handling is a rather poor goal to intentionally aim for, especially if you're going to pitch the car as "Pro-Touring" where chassis development means more than just keeping the rear axle under control and pointed toward the mph traps.

      A "Pro-Street" build would be something else entirely, and I'm not at all sure what it would take to make such an effort stand out from the typical Chevelle/Nova street/strip build other than its "not-another-belly-button" origin.


      ↑↑↑ I'm not flaming anybody or anything here, so don't get the wrong idea. A friend of mine had a 360-powered Javelin/AMX back in the very early 1970's (I think it might have been a Mark Donohue Edition), and I always did think AMC managed to put out a neat car that never got the attention it deserved.

      You might be interested in Ron Schwarz's current AMX build, also in this forum. The other neat AMC muscle.

      The problem with the 2nd gen Javelin/AMX body, is that it has HUGE wheelwells. The front fender and rear quarter are so bulged that you have to have a very big tire to fill it out, otherwise the car looks squirrley. Many guys do not get the stance and tire/wheel combination right. The link to my website and the pictures I have posted there don't really show the tires, but they are plenty big...

      Hi
      I'd like to learn more about this car. I have a 1st gen Javelin, and this is one of the few Javelins I've seen that actually sits right and looks like I want mine to look. Is this just a mock-up, or does this car actually have suspension under it? If so, what is it? Those wheels Forgelines? What's the wheel ane tire combo?
      Thanks, Mo

      The car above was for Sale a while back as an "Unfinished" Project with an Aston Martin Chassic and powerplant that I'm aware of. Make's perfect sense if it was an Aston Martin Experimental which works with the title.... AMX!!

      That's a big wing
      There are 2 factors in Autocross, Tires and the loose nut behind the wheel.
