1969 AMC Javelin SST Go Package MOD Package

American Motors was always the company that dared to be different. Even at the height of the muscle car era when 4-seaters were selling as quickly as Ford, GM, and Chrysler could make them, AMC decided the time was right for a 2-seat pony car. The result was the Javelin (and the AMX), and this 1969 AMC Javelin SST with a highly desirable 'Go Package' AND 'Mod Javelin Package', is the one to own if you're a serious collector. Featuring the bigger-option 390 V8, a 'survivor' Big Bad Blue colored exterior, and a new interior, this rare Big Bad Javelin beast may be the coolest car you'll see in our current inventory.
There were notably few 390 V8/4-speed Javelin SSTs built with both the Go Pack and the Mod Pack, making this one of the rarer muscle cars of the era. This one is very correct, and likely the original drivetrain, although AMC didn't stamp VIN's on blocks in this era, so it's impossible to 100% know. Either way, the powertrain features the bigger displacement V8, manual transmission, and bright colors that we all love and desire. And what is the Go Pack? In 1969, it included a list of durability and handling upgrades including a special handling package, heavy-duty cooling, and a limited slip rear end, plus the upgraded engine and requisite stripes. What about the Mod Pack? In 1969, it included two fiberglass hood scoops, simulated side exhaust rocker molding, and that famous Craig Breedlove roof spoiler. This particular Javey is all-survivor outside, finished in its original code 2A Big Bad Blue, is flashy and will likely inspire more than a few "Hey, what's that?" questions at gas stations and stop lights. The unique sheetmetal is straight with a couple minor bumps and bruises acquired through the years, the light blue original paint shows some age but will still make your eyeballs vibrate, and the factory-installed SST C-stripes also show their age, but are straight enough for engineering work. The Javelin was all about form following function with a longer platform than its AMX brother and bespoke bodywork from the A-pillar back. The fastback looks like a coiled spring, and the wide rear end is unmistakable for anything else on the road (provided you know what an AMC is). Brightwork on this '69 is limited but what's there is in fairly good, original condition, all the emblems are still as the factory rendered, and if there's a car ready to win hearts for America's last independent auto maker, this is it.
At first glance, the interior may seem original too, but it's actually completely restored back to its correct code 962E Platinum, using fresh cloth and ultraleather upholstery throughout that's in excellent condition. The 4-seat platform was an upgrade from the 2-seater AMX that was offered in 1969, a major benefit of the elongated body and chassis of the Javelin. The space isn't exactly expansive back there, but unlike the AMX, two friends could sit in the back and be comfortable. The instruments inside the original dash are housed in deep, round pods directly ahead of the driver, including a 8000 RPM tach, and there's a tilt steering column that's got to be ultra-rare. A vintage Grant GT steering wheel adds a sporty feel, the woodgrain adorned speaker cover in the dash adds sophistication, the stock AM/FM radio amazingly still works, and that cool straight-angled shifter for the 4-speed lets everyone know that this AMC came to fight. Out back, the trunk is all-stock too, featuring an original mat and relocated battery.
Performance is delivered by AMC's top powerplant, a 390 cubic inch V8 with an impressive 315 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque, enough to make the Javelin SST one of the most potent machines on the road in its era, shocking people with a 0-60 MPH time that came in around 7 seconds. Think about how impressive that was in 1969. Well-maintained throughout the years, it wears red engine paint, chrome valve covers, and an aftermarket Edelbrock air cleaner. The power brake and steering systems dominate the space, as do the long-tube Hooker SuperComp headers, but the coolest component is probably that V8 can electronic coil. The motor is strong and in good mechanical order, but full disclosure, it's time for a new or rebuilt carburetor, because the one that's currently installed is on its last legs. The Go Package meant you got power front disc brakes, a heavy-duty suspension, twin-grip limited slip differential, dual exhaust, and Mag wheels, which this one comes with, although they need to be restored. The aforementioned Hooker headers feed into a 2-inch H-pipe dual exhaust that sounds great, and the Borg Warner T-10 4-speed shifts great and is THE choice to match with the 390. Swapped-in polished aluminum wheels wear 245/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A white-letter tires that finish the look.
The Javelin and the AMX seems to be gaining some traction in the market, and this one is as rare as they come. Combining a 390/4-speed powertrain, the Go Package, the Mod Package, the SST trim package, and the Big Bad color package, this is the pinnacle of an AMC collector car. Don't hesitate, this Big Bad Javelin won't last long. Call now!
