original owner still drives his 1973 Javelin

Repainted once, vinyl top removed and painted white to match the side stripe, it's on it's 3rd power steering pump, 2nd set of back up/brake lights (75 bucks apiece) and 2nd set of rubber bumper guards (75 bucks apiece)



Still has the original hubcaps



When I asked him why he is still driving/owning it, he replied "Nothing wrong with it, why not?!" Damn right, nothing wrong at all with it.

First cruise of the season in Escondido


Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

Have you seen a car made into a RV? someone really nailed it with this Rambler American in Argentina


This comes from Fosiles Mecanicos blogspot, and for a super easy way to read it (or any website) in your own language, use Google Chrome as a browser (it's a free download) and then you'll have no problem with translation.
I'm going to keep browsing through http://fosilesmecanicos.blogspot.com/ because Gabriel is finding cool stuff around his neighborhoods
Am I right about how well they made it look like a RV? It beats the hell out of the ShamRockAway for good looks http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/photos-of-unusual-from-days-gone-by.html

Thanks to Marisela and Chris for their time and effort to allow me to photograph the AMX 3 so well!
