Do like the black stripes better though. I see what you are saying about liking the black stripe better, but it doesn't look like an apples to apples comparison. The AMX is more charcoal grey than silver, and the contrast between it and the red stripe seems off. If it was '71 Quick Silver, I'll bet you would like it more. Put a black stripe on the AMX, and a red stripe on the Javelin, so we can do another comparison.... Chop chop

Javtwotone... the Javelin was painted back in the 90's and is much closer to the correct color than the AMX is. Neither are show cars and I'm just not a fan of red interiors or automatics. So, someday, the AMX will get a black interior, a shadow mask and a 5 speed.

Well Capt... you know what happens when you ASSume!!! Some of these cars have been in the family since new or close to new. Others bought in the 80/90's when they were affordable. The rest, I found out hard work ain't that hard!!! Now that I'm retired,I'm gonna enjoy it. Anyway, don't you have a cam to install???

There's no ASSuming there's a lot of value in those Cars now. They would make someone quite a pleasant retirement, if they decided to sell.
I have several to install actually.
The AMC cam will be installed after I see a 327!!!! or a XRV8 443 make some passes down the track. lol

He does have a cam to install, there, acm! Cap, you'll be a geriatric long before the "XRV8" makes it past the mailbox, let alone making a lap at the track.

Look at the most popular and well liked people in AMC. One runs his mouth, chicken's out of bets and has over inflated dyno numbers "take my word for it", another robs Warehouses and Charities.

Oh and I'm geriatric already. I helped the kid move into his first house today. I also mowed his grass with a push mower, while he built some of his furniture. The grass was a foot+ tall. Boy do I hurt.

Yeah, well, we don't want you to be popular. We want you to install that cam and go run it. We know that the results will be honest. LOL at geriatric. You're only like three years older than me.

Honestly, I can't afford to do it right now. Or possibly for a very long time.

4 new tires, "timming" set, already modded, no welding in the shop here, radiator, hoses, gaskets, all the unknown little knick knacks that go wrong when fucking with an old Car, oil, track entry, gas money. The list goes on.
