DESCRIPTION:
1968 AMC (American Motors Corporation) Javelin powered by the original 290 cu in V8 and backed by its matching 4-speed transmission. This car was purchased by a collector approximately 10 years ago after it had undergone refurbishment which included new paint and some suspension work. Documentation shows the engine was professionally rebuilt about 8,000 miles ago including a new clutch pack and flywheel.
Most of the receipts for work done to the car is included with the sale.

Engine & transmission:
The 290 cu in engine was bored to approximately 301 cu in, align honed and decked. The reciprocating assembly was balanced, and an aftermarket Crane hydraulic cam was added. It also has an electronic ignition, Offenhauser dual-port intake manifold, Holley 600 cfm carburetor, and headers with dual exhaust. For cooling a custom aluminum radiator has been added. No over heating.
The transmission is the stock Borg Warner T10.
Body & Paint:
This Javelin has had the lower rear sections of the panels, rocker panels and areas of the doors replaced with ‘patch’ panels and then repainted the original dark green. For a 10–12-year-old 2 stage paint job it looks good (see photos). Floors are solid with a patch panel on the driver’s side. Chrome and glass are in good condition.
Chassis:
Recently the brake system had new lines, shoes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders. A new parking brake cable was installed. Shocks were done several years ago. Tires are 5 y.o. 225/60R/14 B.F. Goodrich radials.
The rear differential is believed to be the stock (open) 3.54:1 and was rebuilt when the engine was done. Has factory power steering.
Interior:
The interior looks good. The front seats were redone at some point to try and match the original pattern of the back. Carpeting was also replaced. The headliner does sag slightly. The factory gauges including the speedometer/odometer work as well as the aftermarket Sun tach, oil pressure, and water temperature gauges. The door panels are in good condition. There is a ‘lock handle’ missing on the passenger door arm rest, so a piece of dowl was installed.
Overall:
This Javelin looks, runs, and drives good. It shifts and accelerates smoothly and rides well. There doesn't seem to be any leaks, and it does not overheat. It is great for attending local cruise-in’s or weekend drives.

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
