1973 Javelin back at Gearhead Garage!



Well, the ’73 AMC Javelin project we’re restoring just came back from sandblasting- American Stripping did a phenomenal job! ALL of the exterior, door jambs, trunk & engine bay have completely stripped and primed. The entire underside of the car is FINALLY free of 35+ years of nasty grease & grime.

The original engine has been freshly rebuilt: a balanced rotating assembly w/ forged pistons, ARP rod bolts and a slightly oversized cam will be set into the otherwise stock Javelin (dual exhaust, disc brakes an alarm system, and of course a stereo will likely be the only other deviations from all stock build plan). The transmission and driveline are also completely rebuilt and ready to roll.

At this point, we are busy ordering parts to keep things moving along. The AMC will undergo major bodywork & paint, the chrome has all been sent out to be redone, and all of the factory stainless is getting polished @ Britex.

We’ll keep you posted………
