Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is excited to present this
beautiful classic 1972 AMC Javelin SST. Fresh Full Preservation of
an All Original Survivor General Description: All numbers matching
survivor with 99% of its factory parts date coded within weeks of
the July 1972 build completion. Just completed extensive year-long
professional preservation including its first ever repaint. Every
effort spent returning this rare SST back to its factory original
appearance, regardless of cost. Even has the original date coded
engine, transmission, radiator, rear axle, carburetor, air
conditioning system, intake and exhaust manifolds, plus much more.
Pictures and video included with the sale, demonstrates this car
was always highly maintained by two previous meticulous Southern
owners. Prior to recent preservation, the car was an amazingly
preserved all original survivor with its factory paint still
showing nice luster. Along with all factory decals under the hood
and chassis and drive shaft markings. Preservation Process It was a
toss up to leave it as is, or restore it to its current pristine
condition. As, after 45 years of well-maintained use, even the best
of cars accumulates some minor bumps and bruises. So, the decision
was made to perform a full preservation. It began by first video
and photo documenting all aspects for originality, to ensure all
the parts were correctly replaced. The bumpers, exterior trim,
motor, exhaust manifolds, exhaust, grill, lights, doors, trunk lid,
spoiler, hood, lower front and rear valences, carpet, headliner,
and interior trim were all disassembled. Ensuring every nook and
cranny is now painted flawlessly from top to bottom. For
originality sake, the factory wiring harness, dash, gauges, rear
seat, original factory undercoating, welds, clips, switches, and
all the little doo-dads that make this Javelin an original survivor
were left in place and cleaned. AMC uni-bodies were "deep-dip"
rustproofed at the factory and received undercoating. Meaning, this
fact and its exceptional care and always being garaged, means this
one does NOT have any of the Javelin/AMX-specific corrosion trouble
areas. The rust-free body was recently professionally painted with
PPG base coat/ clear coat. The body was painstakingly wet sanded
between coats with increasingly fine grit and polished. Now smooth
as glass and has great luster and body panel alignment. Never
driven since completion, except for a few test miles to ensure all
is mechanically ready to drive. ***The front and rear bumpers, all
original factory stainless trim, rocker panel cover molding, logos,
drip moldings, window moldings and etcetera only needed light
polishing are in original amazing condition. *** The attractive1972
only, Ferarri-esque egg crate style grill was painted its correct
gray and black with bright silver face. *** Tail lamp assembly with
chrome grid covering is original and in great condition. ***
Original exterior door handles and driver side chrome mirror have
very good original chrome. *** Both door sill plates are in
original unrestored condition and show awesome very slight patina.
*** Underside of the car received the same painstaking treatment as
the top side. It even retains the original factory undercoating.
Then once the underside was fully detailed it was painted with
black POR-15 to keep it protected and rust free for many more
years. Look like it just rolled off the line in Kenosha. ***The
trunk area has been restored to concourse specifications with new
correct dark green/aqua spatter paint and original factory sealer
preserved. Correct factory semi-gloss black was used on the rear
bumper brackets and seat back stanchion bars. All trunk floor
access holes filled with original OEM black plastic access caps.
*** This car is so original it even still has the very hard to find
Original AMC Trunk Mat in as new condition. Also, has in great
condition the rarely seen original AMC floor mats. *** Still
retains the Original Date Correct and unused unpainted Space Saver
Spare Tire and Rim with original paper labels and factory markings.
*** Unpainted air inflator canister with original production and
date codes with new reproduction instruction label, hold down
bracket, and complete painted jack setup. *** Plus, an extra bonus.
A second original full size spare tire and rim are also included.
Both, unused with white factory markings and injection nubs on the
tires tread block surface and side walls. *** All new correct
reproduction weather-stripping was added to the doors, windows,
trunk, and hood, with all factory original retaining clips, screws,
and brackets. ***The optional black vinyl roof simulates a T-top
and has new correct reproduction boar skin textured inserts.
Original factory correct roof trim repainted correct satin/semi
black with factory style retaining clips securing them down with
factory sealer on the edges. Applied just like the factory did to
prevent water infiltration. *** All new Javelin logos and red,
white, and blue bullseyes were added *** All door locks, trunk and

surrounds, inner Door Panels, wood Door trim, Console, Kick Panels,
Sail Panels, Switches, Rear Seat, 3 Spoke Steering Wheel, Rearview
Mirror, Seat Belts, Sun Visors, Mounts, Nubs, Screws and etcetera
are all original. However, many hours were spent preserving them
back to its current amazing condition. *** Everything mechanically
works as it should. All gauges, lights, doors, windows, locks, air
conditioning, and switches function properly with great quality
chrome knobs and switches. *** Factory AMC AM/FM Cassette radio
with original knobs installed with the original factory AM Radio
boxed up in the trunk. *** No non-factory speaker cut outs. Even
the factory clock works accurately, but the wire is intentionally
unclipped to avoid the battery from discharging when not in use.
