What about the Javelin Trans Am? 67.188.172.165 16:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I´ve updated the section with some pieces of information Karmann was kind enough to provide. This is a copy of the Karmann e-mail:

"American designed car that was made in Germany." - given the above calling it reassembled instead of made seems more appropriate —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.50.113 ( talk) 11:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
. . . of the article is now a complete mess. Maybe someone can restore it to something like its, er, former glory. Writegeist ( talk) 02:03, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
The AMC Javelin Twin Turbo 440 is an AMX that was heavily tuned by the manufacturer--and no, this is not a fake car. The Twin Turbo 440 is completely a road-legal production car that was tested by Motor Trend 1969; it went from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and had a quarter mile time of 10.1 secons at 135.2 mph, but I don't think the video exists anymore. The AMC Javelin Twin Turbo 440 went 200 mph back in 1973. AMC decided to only make 700 examples (300 road cars and 400 drag cars) of the Javelin Twin Turbo 440, with an original M.S.R.P. of $6,995. Production began in 1971 and ended in fall 1973. If you're wondering how much the Twin Turbo 440 version of the Javelin would sell in today's market, a price between $15,000 and $40,000 is a good starting point for private sellers, (and a starting price between $65,000 and $320,000 for dealers and auctions.) It came with 18 inch rims--100% stock! Yes, this car has more torque than a Koenigsegg CCX and a Corvette ZR1. 200.59.229.133 ( talk) 00:59, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

why is there a paragraph about some modified Javelin? Reads like an ad for the Ring Brothers to me. 2607:F2C0:ECA2:D4:E1AF:A221:E6C4:A02A ( talk) 18:43, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
