Standard Javelins built by AMI in Melbourne
Australia had the 343cu in engine with a 3 speed automatic Torque flite transmission.
Imported CKD from Kenosha to AMI and converted to RHD. |
|
Bought from a car yard in
Footscray when I first saw it in White duco, I remarked to the owner that it would be more
saleable in BLACK. Driving by a few weeks later I spotted it on the lot in Black!! |

The Javelin was running the 401 with the
blackjack headers and the torker single plane aluminium 4bbl manifold. Unfortunately the
fuel supply was not up to the engine requirements and was cutting out mid track. Even
stalling after hitting second we were still pulling very low 14's @98Mph. |
At the Calder Park Raceway Drags in '85.
 |
|
  Made the big mistake of thinking the car needed a rebuild after parking next
to a Dodge Challenger at a 60's American Muscle Car Club car show |

Bob Fischer built GMC 471 Supercharger that
has been modified with a custom designed and manufactured snout by owner. Fitted with an
Airconditioning clutch to be able to engage and disengage the blower rotors dependent on
requirements. |
|
The blower manifold is making
the blower sit to high so is being rebuilt to sit the blower lower in the valley above a
liquid intercooler. |
