nice pics indeed. Why not a higher price though, considering the rarity of these cars?

Still a few days to go. I imagine the price will jump up on the last day. Collectibles bring out the snipers.

Gotta luv unadulterated V8 power. It would be interesting to see how it would perform against a modern Crown Vic on assorted courses (open roads, city streets, etc...). Hell, throw in a Monaco and a few others and find the all time best cop car.

There is a 72 amc javelin that was a factory 401 in a town about 35 klms from me, apparently it was one of about 17 brought into australia. It's suffered a very heavy rollover & the engine & trans were ratted out to go in a drag car. I supplied these pics to the Australian Javelin registry last year sometime.

i saw those pursuit cars on automaniac (the one with the dumb wrestler!).

They sure look awesome. He says "They 'needed the rear spoiler to put the police logo on the back', but i think its just because it looks good".

God ....aww daaamn..that poor Javvie,jeez the car looks like Maxs car after the rollover. I got the music in my head now after seeing that poor Javelins aftermath of when Max was being airlfited by the Gyro capt. LOL

Makes me glad the only dent I put in my Javelin was from my elbow after doing a Dukes of Hazzard roll over the hood when those Football* players took offense at my friends & I..

*"Football" - American Football, or as I term it on occasion.. "Yankball"
