I had a 70 Javelin in high school with a 304 and a 4 spd manual with a Hurst shifter. Mine suffered from the front wheels locking up too, but it was a bad master cylinder. When my front wheels decided to lock up, I had to back up until they started rolling again and then I was good to go until next time. I also had the same long shackles to compensate for the clapped out rear leaf springs.

I always thought Javelins had one of the nicest looking front ends of the period muscle cars. Had a friend who had a 74 Charger SE with the 400 magnum engine and a 72 Javelin that he dropped a 527 (? Don't quote me on the cubic inch but it barely fit) racing engine in, converted to a T-top, pistol grip shifter and a custom pin stripe job (which is what he did for work back in the 70s. That Javelin was fast. Alabama even had a few that were used as police cars back in the 70s.

I owned a 73 javelin myself. Currently working on a 74 gremlin. I’ve been a diehard AMC guy since I was 19. (I’m 47 now) what you have most likely is a 304 car with a AMC/Chrysler 904 automatic transmission and the rear end is a AMC Dana/model 20 rear end. Between both those cars I’m pretty sure you can make a decent ride out of one of them. I hope you don’t put a Chevy motor in it.

The AMC 20 axle was neither designed by, made by, or affiliated with Dana/Spicer. It's entirely AMC. The AMC 15 axle was sold to Dana in the 80's and renamed the Dana 35, but was an AMC design dating back to the early 60's.

A little tune-up. Like so many others, I love Mad Max. I'd leave it just the way it is. Seek to preserve it, and keep it out of the salts. Nice find fellas!

I’d fix it up to driver status (reliable and safe) and drive the hell out of it, then when my son is old enough to turn wrenches we’d turn it into a father son project and make it nice. I have a few 401s sitting in storage that would be perfect for these cars. Honestly, I’d fix them both up over time, nothing better than a father and son (or daughter) pair of cars!

Next time someone repeats the tired trope that AMC's are a hodge podge of other makers' parts ask them how many components on a modern car are made by Bosch? AMC bought some components from the Saginaw and Motorcraft divisions of GM and Ford, and used Borg Warner, GM and Chrysler transmissions but made their own engines, rear axles, and numerous other parts. This is no different than any of the non-big 3 automakers before they all went out of business.

I know my 1977 Mercury Marquis 4dr with the 400 6.6 and FMX is rare only 270 to 8100 of my model were ever made in 77 (depending on production number.) It's getting the Mad Max treatment getting turned into a wastelander car for Wasteland Weekend. 4000 miles round trip to near Edward's AFB and back home. Only paid 800 bucks for it but it needed alot of mechanical work (new engine and trans) on its 2rd engine and 3rd transmission about to be a 3rd engine I need to make sure it don't break down there.

The 24 Hours of lemons was running on the road course the same weekend we were running on the drag strip. We had time to watch the lemons race.... "RoadKill" had a dead deer on the roof of his car. lolol. Also, was he talking about Kyle Loftis from 1320 video? How Kyle was 13 when he started filming? That's probably true because I met Kyle at that track back in 2010. He asked us if he could put a camera in our car. He was pretty young back then but he did introduce himself as Kyle from 1320 KZbin. He was probably only 20 years old (give or take) back then. Kyle is a true American success story.

Just a tip. Start checking your transmission adjuster cables aka tv cable on the linkage on carburetor. Could have kept that tranny nice and healthy because driving it with it stretched or seized will burn the clutches out due to not enough pressure. Which cause slippage. Especially while towing another car

I’ve never owned a classic car before and I would really like to get into the car culture scene but me and my fiancé struggle paying our bills as is so I’ll probably never get to own something as cool as that so getting that car would be awesome

My brother's first car was a javelin as soon as he got it someone t-boned him at an intersection running the stop sign almost killed him totaled the car what a shame he passed away last year and this car would keep his memory alive for me not to mention it's one of my favorite cars also I'm in a wheelchair so I can only drive cars nothing too tall I can't get into them that guy would be perfect I hang out at the car shows now have something to show for it if I got it thanks for the amazing content look forward to future vids

the rear drums for the javelin r readily available 2 or 3 different companies do rebuild kits or fully replace them the discs r a bit more difficult but ebay has almost always got them

When I was in the Navy I had a Javelin with a bad starter solenoid so I didnt turn it off unless I had to. I would take my girl out & bring her home about 5a and we would sit in her driveway with the car rumbling making out until her mom flashed the porch lights. !
