There's a Crackslist link for one in that thread. It's only $5000 for a 18 sec motor.
Could get a 9sec LS for that. But that'd be stupid.

$5K for an obsolete boat anchor is a little optimistic maybe.

I'd just buy a whole car with one in it for that... several 100,000 young people just graduated from College this week. .01% of them give a fuck about a old POS Rambler. Can't believe anyone pays more than $5000 for a mint AMX really. Good luck selling it in 20 years.

I've been collecting parts, and finally have a place to work on it again but I sometimes wonder if I should really bother with the time and expense of restoring my '71 Javelin AMX. I enjoy the work, but will it be worth anything when done?

If you don't mind dying with the car in the garage, I wouldn't sweat it...
I figure we have 10 years to get the top bucks out of our AMCs. A neighbor wants to buy my car for 8k if he gets a decent settlement from a wreck. It's gone if he does.
My kid doesn't give two fucks about it. He's driven it and says "eh" and don't care to drive it again.
Some of the comments on that link are good. People are waiting for estate sales to get your stuff for nothing.
As far as dying, so many plan on living to 100. Welp, I've had 1/2 dozen friends dye younger than 50. I heard from one recently. They gutted him like a fish. Took his rectum, tons of intestine, bladder, prostate, has till December to live and is 41. He has 100 Cars, not running (I'm gonna do something with it one day) around his place. His Woman is just gonna junk it all. She's not gonna spend 35 years on Craigslist trying to sell it. He's still not selling. I'da tried to sell it all cheap and just go out and buy a New Demon ready to go fast and enjoy that the last few months of my life. Esp since he has two bags now to shit and piss in and has a hard time leaning over a fender with them....

I just got the news I lost another old car buddy.
There's less and less of us every day.

I've been collecting parts, and finally have a place to work on it again but I sometimes wonder if I should really bother with the time and expense of restoring my '71 Javelin AMX. I enjoy the work, but will it be worth anything when done? Well i know the feeling. But i also know the feeling of sitting in my old pile of shit and looking around me, in a familar place, and remembering the vast section of my life i have spent there, and all the memories, and the strong feeling of connection to the past, it gives me. Thats one reason i waste my life on a 69 javelin. Value is the question. I dont care what someone would pay me for it. Its not gonna be near enough. I value nothing, if it means nothing to me. I value little at all these days. You arrive on earth with nothing, and take nothing with you, possesions are just a pain in the ass
