It is a blast to drive on the highway and rides and corners with precision. Also I have in my possession many photos and receipts of the car during the rebuild. Plus receipts of what I have spent on maintenance.
By the way the vehicle colour is Wild Plum which is a factory colour. Also 2 sets of keys for the ignition and boot.
Just to add. The AMX was judged the best interior in the Edmonton World of Wheels in 2018. Plus was placed 2nd in class at the World of Wheels in Calgary Canada.
To my knowledge Javelin AMX's were not imported nor built in Australia. It took me a long time to find this one that had been restored with newer running gear while keeping the exterior shape and sound. Which is what attracted me from a very early age to the Javelin in the first place. Growing up my family had Ramblers hence the attraction.
02/12/2024 Carried out a software update on the MSD Atomic 1 controller. New engine tune and dyno run completed.
