Equipment
304 with Mondello heads and Edelbrock prototype dual quad intake, 4-speed, Cragar wheels, roof spoiler, roll bar, Sun tach. Vinyl upholstery.
Condition
From the Motor City Muscle collection. One of three Javelins prepared by Craig Breedlove and Edelbrock Engineering in 1968. Breedlove drove it to 161.733 mph at Bonneville, a C-production class record that stood for several years. Some wear and dirt under the hood but all is presentable. Scratches on the window frames but mostly good paint and chrome. Clean seats but worn floors. A star car for any AMC or Bonneville fan showing 24 miles which is suggested all it has done including 19 miles at Bonneville
Market commentary
It served its purpose, earning Car Craft and Hot Rod magazine coverage and sitting undisturbed since then, a Bonneville relic. It was reported sold at Mecum Indy in 2012 for $90,100 and that's as good a reason as any not to accept this conservative bid. The problem is finding a collector who gets light-headed about an AMC Bonneville record holder. They are thin on the ground.
