Random # 331: AMC Javelin
This very, very sexy "pony car" is an American Motors Corporation (AMC) Javelin, possibly a 1968 or '69 model. For some reason, they were marketed as Rambler Javelins in Australia. I've not seen it around Hobart before but, with a J-prefix rego, it's not super-new to the state.
It really did look the goods, with very nice duco in a striking shade of blue, straight, shiny chrome and tasty after-market alloys. The interior was in similarly great nick.
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Javelin), the Javelin came with anything from a 3.8 litre straight six (shared with the Rambler Hornet), through to a stonking 6.4 litre V8. They weren't considered to be a "big" car, though, being towards the smaller end of the US market, competing with GM's Camaro / Firebird lineup rather than, say, Ford's Mustang, GM's GTO or Chrysler's Dodge Charger.
