Welcome to another Hooniverse Weekend, and for this weekend I thought I would clean-up the mounting tips in the old Hoooniverse in-box. So let’s start out with this thing; A 1971 AMC Javelin SST Project….


This was sent in to the tip line by one of our editors, who thought this car was Super-Duper Cheap! Be that as it may, I thought this would be the perfect car for a West Coast 24-Hours of LeMons or Chump-Car team. No need for a theme, because the car is a theme all by itself. Yes, you could mount a mannequin, dressed in Track & Field gear, with a pose like he’s throwing a Javelin…. but I digress. According to the listing:

FOR SALE MY 1971 AMERICAN MOTORS JAVELIN
ENGINE 304
RUNS AND DRIVES BUT IS A PROJECT IN PROGRESS
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT THAN THE GUY WITH A CAMARO OR MUSTANG
THIS IS WHAT REALLY A MUSCLE CAR IS
ALL OF THE PEOPLE WILL ASK YOU
WHAT KIND OF CAR IS IT???
UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I NEED TO GET IT SOLD
THE BUY IT NOW WILL GET YOU A LOT OF EXTRA PARTS LIKE AN ORIGINAL REAR SPOILER WHICH TOTALLY CHANGES THE APPERANCE OF THE CAR AND A FRONT SPOILER, AMX DOOR PANEL REPLACEMENT.AMX AMBER TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR REPLACEMENT AND MORE EXTRA PARTS. AGAIN THIS PARTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE ONLY WITH THE “BUY IY NOW” OPTION

The seller doesn’t have a buy it now option in the listing, so unless he ends the listing, he’s SOL. The current bid for this IOE Winner is $315, and the seller wants $1,495 for it. This is going to be one eBay auction to watch, as there is about one day left as of this writing. Check out the listing here.

So what do you think it will sell for?
