But on the other hand, to see this awesome build bring all of this attention is so awesome for the AMC community.

    In 70' my Dad said he was going to buy a new Mustang . I was so pumped ... I thought FINALLY , no station wagons , 4 door sedans or Grandma cars . He even hinted he might buy a Mach 1 but , I was afraid to even hope for that . I heard a car pull into the driveway and I RAN outside to see a .... Javelin . Not just a Javelin but a girly yellow car with that Olive Green interior . It had the fake Cragar hubcaps and a SST emblem ( give me a break ) . I know I looked at him like " ARE YOU CRAZY " ! He had the chance to buy a Mach 1 but , he came home with the ugliest " muscle car " he could find . His reason for buying the Javelin ? He took it down an on ramp and floored it at 50 and the tires broke loose and spun ( he was impressed ) . I .... didn't talk to him for three days ( Dads.... LOL ) . Anyway it was pretty fast and once you were inside it was okay . PK

Chrysler unequivocally proved that's what they'll do to an old nameplate that hasn't been around for a while when they unveiled the "Dart II" in 2012 or whenever. Ford, too with the poor Zephyr (the name only lasted a year, it now fits into current Lincoln nomenclature: the MkZ). Just let the old girl rest in peace, except for incredible one-offs like this beast.

    "Travelin in my Javelin" We had a lot of sayings, names for the cars of those days and I could have commented and said many. I new a guy in high school who had one, I started this one and it really stuck. I did let him ride my motor cycle and he let me drive his car. Like you Jay, when anyone gets a new ride I always let them show me and am excited for them. "let me drive it" works everytime.

    Miss my Javelin. I had a 72 with a 401.

  • @jeremythompson9122

    @jeremythompson9122

    4 жыл бұрын

    The 401 was one of the most powerful V8's you could still buy in 1972. Even the lower compression 72-74 Javelin 401's were no joke. They only weighed about 3200 pounds and 255 net horsepower probably translated to 300 or so in gross horsepower ratings. So that made for a pretty fast car still. Probably one of the reasons the Alabama State Police ordered a whole fleet of Javelin 401's in 1972. They were probably the fastest car you could still buy in 1972-74 other than a 72 GTO or Trans Am 455 HO or a 73-74 Trans Am SD455. The 72-73 Duster and Demon 340's were still pretty fast too because they were so light and the 340 was still a screamer even in its lower compression form. Other than that I can't really think of anything made in 1972-74 that could beat a Javelin AMX 401. Most cars got bigger and heavier after 1970-71 on top of being less powerful. Ford and most of GM weren't even trying to build high performance cars anymore. Pontiac and Mopar were really the only ones still even trying to build anything fast other than AMC with their 401 Javelin's

    Dang, what a beautiful car! Ring Brothers nailed this restomod. This was a really exciting episode to watch. I got a kick out of hearing Jay cackle with delight at the sound and the power of the engine, when he put his foot into it! The more I watch of Jay Leno's Garage, the more I love it, and the more I like Jay. His passion for automobiles and his historical knowledge of them, combined with his talent as a storyteller, make for such good entertainment. His stand up comedy was great, back in the day, and of course he had a good run, as host of the Tonight Show. But in my opinion, JLG represents the best work of Jay's entire career. His production team, and his mechanical and engineering team, are all exceptionally talented, and really shine in their roles.
