AMC Javelin SST
I managed to shoot this AMC Javelin in the street as I drove past. I think it's about a 1968 or 1969 model. For a few years they were built here in Australia. Standard Javelins built by AMI (Australian Motor Industries) in Melbourne had the 343cu in engine with a 3 speed automatic Torqueflite transmission. Imported CKD (completely knocked down) from the USA to AMI and converted to RHD. They're now a rare sight here.

hey i got one of these babies sitting in my shed right now - i love the toruey motor and sharp modern styling. Its like flypaper for bogans and people here in Australia generally have no idea what it is; so im forever fielding questions about its Chrysler motor or Windsor. But theres the odd fan who come up, know what it is and want to pore over it and talk for hours. Plus ive only seen 1 other one here in South Australia. Only bugger is getting parts for it!!
