Everything is correct according to the property ledger I copied from the Bama state archives . I show it was placed into service on 12/7/1971, sold on 11/3/1974. purchase order #1-85654 for $3047.34 which makes it one of the 12 401 SST to fill the 71 order at the 71 NON SST price of $3047. Only 3 know to exist now. Car has all the purchase, auction and complete ownership documents. Was in Texas for most of its private life. Bama was the 1st to use the pony cars so its a rare bird.

those javelins were some sexy cars bitd.
still are,i think they look better than the camaros,the 71-74 gen.
funny part too,most of the cops had no idea what it was.
in several pursuits the car was called a camaro,a mustang and some other names.
they couldnt catch me back then,and it was a quick car.
it wasnt until i actually got caught in Benson street racing and banned forever,
that they found out what kind of car it was

73 amx javelin 401/4 speed white w black stripes.
i still remember that night...
some jackass in some import had been revving it and making moves when hed come past.
the last time he did that,i came out of the parking lot about 4 cars behind him,
and then passed all of them in 2cnd at wot and then saw the cops literally running down main street towards me..
whoops..time to go hide,lookit that side street duck duck turn duck.
only to get cornered at the local gas station.....doh!

they come in,theres a small crowd of people n im hoping im gonna slip out and bolt.
negatory houston.

they go back out of the store,come back in..
okay,whos driving the white mustang?
noone answers....
they start back out the door,stop,and say.

Oh Momma. She is a rare bird indeed.

 

[Spyphish]

Correction, ONLY 2 of the 72s to fill 71 order are accounted for!!!! Unrestored engine room thank goodness. Still has growler siren, trans cooler, catch can and paint stick labels. Missing carbon can and need some wiring tidied but she is a 9 on a 10 original. Car will be used by Bama retired troopers group for events and weekly loans to field troopers of that era. I am working with a trooper who has one of the few unmarked Javelins being restored but mine was actually marked. He also has 2 parts cars and is working with me on the few missing pieces and cop radio stuff. She is heading back to Bama.

 

[BeatersRus]

i was kind of a javelin freak bitd,so,
looking at that car i see a base javelin body with rally rims and an sst or amx rear spoiler.
i also see the chrome rocker trim and the hood/front trim and wheelwell trim too.
this is an odd combo for a fleet car one would think.
esp the ralleyes with the trim rings and center caps and all that instead of plain jane steels.
can you post pics of the interior and esp the dash overlay?
im curious and thank you sir.

Good eye and your right, it was an oddball order. There is an ADPS Javelin thread that outlines the stuff ordered. They had to have the spoiler so they could put STATE TROOPER on it. The 71's had the steel rims and the first 12 72' on the line (which were now SST's) had to be in the 71 color and 71 price but with the 72 wheels. The remaining SST 72s under 2nd order had blue hood/trunk with a different silver. The State have the documents from the line production and are sending me a copy. The interior of my car is recovered incorrectly with cloth and is an item we will address. Drill holes for radio equipment are still there and the dash and console pad have some curling but nothing we cant fix. We will reinstall period correct radio/bubblegum light etc. Car is missing a small blue pinstripe along body line like the one with the trooper standing pic. She is pretty nice for a daily driver.

Wreck or race? I will try to behave with it.

Wreck or race?

I just got done giving a friend a ride down the coast, high speed down & back, dropped him off at the interstate exit gas & go, nice run total empty road in early am, was just getting back into home town stopped at a red light on the state road. A dick in Javelin pulls up next to me in the left lane an tears off when the light changes, don't care I got 3:23's I'll get'em past the right bend and over the hill is a mile long straight, he's dog meat and out of breath at 120, I go flying by just reaching pin with a 1/4 to go too floor, engines running real strong from the 1 1/2 hour clean out run on the Interstate. Oops! Blue lights in the distant rear view, OK he'll get the Javelin, nope still coming must be a local that know's me, right hand bend coming up with a good escape road, hard on the metallic brakes sharp right too a uphill left, into low and to the floor and don't look back, right hand bend too a uphill straight then a left at the top of the hill, been here before, short downhill straight to 4 escape roads. I've done the top hill left comfortably at ninety before, now just over a hundred so why brake, *** end pitches sideways, correct, LF hits curb and blows out, headed for the bushes, which side of road are the telephone poles on? Split second decision, get back on the asphalt, yank wheel to the right *** end goes left because ground is covered with frost and I get launched over the top of a 2 foot high stone wall, barreled rolled it I guess twice and landed on all fours 2 house lots down headed in the direction I was going in total silence. Wait for the coppers to arrive, nothing, get out to survey the damage and hit my head on upper door roofline as it's kicked over 2/3 inches, door opens fine, windshield & rear window are gone, High School history papers & books scattered all over the road, my Army jacket was found somewhere in the mess, funny thing is that my chrome Sears timing light that had the cables wrapped around it in a X pattern and on the floor behind driver seat was all unraveled with the light laying on the trunk and the cord full extended with the battery clips laying inside at the top of the rear seat through the blown out rear window, weird.
Still silence, didn't wake anyone and no sirens, time to go 'don care how smashed the LF is were going to a dirt road in the woods to change the flat and come back to find the windshield. (didn't happen, even had a flashlight) Get home and throw a tarp over the whole car, (nobody will notice) Cops come a knocking at about 10am, wanna know who I was racing, (who's the other guy) I deny everything, and it seems that the chase cop crashed on the right off the state road and totaled the cruiser which was the second one in a matter of weeks for him as he wreaked one chasing a friend of mine's GTO.
The other cop (cool one, long hair) pulled me aside and asked if I had insurance as if there maybe a claim for the bushes and if any damage to the stone wall. Gave him all the information and took the accident forms he gave to fill out and then they left, seems they wanted to keep these 2 wreaked cruisers hushed up. Now then to the wrath of Dad, funny months before my dad's deathbed at 90 he admitted to me that he rolled his very first car too, a Model A, all those years he said nothing...

Back to the original single-exhaust set-up, if you don't mind:

Is it correct that this catalyst is the original one and never had a grass shield? I can't see one!

I would say that from the beat up pipe and cat that the original shields are long gone.
Being a 1977 it would have heat shields top & bottom.
(and I believe a top one all along the pipe back from the cat to muffler end).

 

[PeugFra]

What makes you think it originally had heat shields top & bottom? Because it is a High Altitude car?

 

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

High Altitude had nothing to do with it.

All cat cars by 1975(?) on had heat shields to try and prevent grass/brush fires.
Some worked some didn't, fires still happened.
My 1977 PK41's with duals had shields on floor boards all the way back to the axle hump.
My Crown Vic does too.
Don't remember much of the shielding with the 1976 Gran Fury Brougham, but that was a 360 with single exhaust that I de-catted.

Check your parts/service manuals for the cat shields, think they specify the dimensions of distance the complete exhaust is to be from the shields IIRC.

I also think I read somewhere that the positioning and design of the shields is to get undercar airflow to cool the exhaust system and this is why not to remove the shields.
But now with the pre-cats the temperature of the after cat exhaust is less and not much of a concern.

 

[PeugFra]

All cat cars by 1975(?) on had heat shields to try and prevent grass/brush fires.

I'm especially interested in the lower heat shield. 1977 broadcast sheets for a 360-2 Royal Monaco and a 400-4 Cordoba, both single exhaust with cat and federal emissions, show no lower heat shield installed.

So I wonder under which circumstances lower heat shields were applied. I guess it depended on the requirements laid down by state authorities.
