I loved this episode!! It made me feel very nostalgic. In '83 I bought a 1969 AMX, 390, 4-speed, highly optioned car, with factory leather interior, and factory installed A.C.!! When I bought the car in '83, N.O.S. parts were still available. Several AMC dealerships had held on to their parts, plus reproduction parts were being made. After a rebuild on the engine, including the better breathing 401 heads, plus the typical H.P. additions, it was a truly screaming beast! Man, I had a blast with that car!! Living in a small town just west of Knoxville TN, street racing out in the boonies at 2 am, was a weekly occurrence. Being an attractive 24 yr old woman, wearing high heel shoes, w/big 80's hair, while driving this rumbling AMX, that none of the local Chevy/Ford/Mopar boys had ever seen, made for an exceptionally surprising experience for them!! Especially when a woman smoked their doors, in high heel shoes, in that screamingly fast AMX!! Those were the days!! 💕💓

Way back when I was an 18-year-old, I was driving late at night heading to my girlfriend's house in my 1968 290CID Javelin. When this car pulled up beside me. I looked over and it was an Alabama State Trooper in a Javelin 401. He gave me a little nod, then floored it and left me in the dust. That was the one and only time I ever saw a Javelin 401 before this video. Thanks for the good memory from long ago!

It’s such a blessing that Dennis is going to finish this Holy Grail because you could definitely see the emotions the gentleman went through when he spoke of not being able to finish it or continue to own it. Great content

There's one downtown here in Montgomery. "A restored javelin patrol vehicle is on display in the Museum of DPS Headquarters, 301 South Ripley St., in Montgomery, and appears just as it did in 1973/74. It is one of the two that the ADPS saved. Both were in original condition to start with, but in 1997 the first one was restored and recieved a few modifications. Recently the second one has been restored to it's original condition with no modifications."

Big difference though, my AMX had the smaller 290 ci V8, and low rear end gear. It topped out at 104MPH, but it got there mighty quick. 👍

Saw this and had to comment. It was a Saturday night in the spring of 1973. I was working in the pits at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. After the races were over, my girlfriend and I headed to Talladega going to the race on I65 South. It was probably around 2:00 early Sunday morning, somewhere in Alabama, and this was when the speed limit was 75 mph. I had a 1972 Road Runner, and I was running around 85 or so when a late 60s model Mustang came upon us, and past us like we were standing still. He had to be doing 130 or so. After his tail lights vanished in the night, I noticed blue lights coming up behind us FAST. I figured it was the police, so I checked up a bit. When the car caught and past us (again, like we standing still) I caught a glimpse of it, and it was an Alabama State Trooper in a Javelin! This one was brown though, not blue. I had never seen a Javelin State Trooper car before, but he was hauling! After he disappeared into the darkness, lo and behold, we drove about 10 miles down the interstate, and there was the Mustang on the side of the interstate with the State Trooper behind him, lights flashing. The Trooper had run the Mustang down. Seeing this video bought back the memory of that morning many years ago.

At 70 years old, this brought tears to my eyes. I bought an AMC Javelin in the early 1970's before I was deployed for the second time. It was white with a deep red burgundy leather interior. It had the 304. I'm not sure what year it was. It did have the raised front fender wells. The front grill was different on mine and the tail lights were just red all the way across without the chrome cross frame across it. I was in country for about 6 months and I got a letter from my wife telling me that it had been stolen and totaled. I drove twice before I was deployed. I would love to take a ride in one, one more time.

Went to Talladega for the motorcycle races in 1972 - me in my brand new Dodge Colt, my dad and his friend on 1966 BMW R60's, another older gent on a Harley, and one on a Vincent Black Shadow. We got stopped by the State Patrol on our way into Alabama - they were in one of the Javelins. One officer came and spoke to us, and the other stood by the car with his sawed-off shotgun. I was 18, my dad was the youngest of the others at 38. The message, as well as I remember it, was that we should have a good time but not cause any trouble. Still one of my favorite trips, and I remember that car vividly - we had a 1968 Javelin with the 232 cu. in. six and an automatic, so that Javelin was the stuff of dreams.

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

My uncle just back from Viet Nam had a orange GTO Judge and was arrested several times by the Javelin state cops in Heflin Alabama

Another KZbin video classic. Words cannot explain.

[@SeeLifeBro]

That old timer was incredible. Well done guys, that is a true holy grail find. Unbelievable...

[@amilton2128]

Now that’s an American muscle car. Love the AMX and Javelin

[@Daddyhoye]

This guy was amazing. So much history and knowledge in that brain!

[@beatglauser9444]

What a great car! I LOVE those Javelins and AMX models. (And the Marlins). I admit it and I am a hardcore GM guy. Those cars are still underrated in my opinion. Nice to hear this guy talk: He knows so much about it. One of my favourite episodes.

[@upperroomtoo]

The exhaust sound of that 401 was amazing!

[@davecolvin310]

Not only is that javelin top notch your production of the whole episode is done well easy to watch and the info priceless

[@bks6909]

I am a Ford guy - but that was certainly one of my favorite finds you have done to date. Awesome car. My cousin owned an AMC Javelin in 72 or 73.!

If you're not learning and willing to learn from others. You're never evolving or growing. Dennis I appreciate you being open about your fact checking and not knowing everything.
