I went to Columbus OH a couple of weeks ago with a friend of mine
to this "muscle car" dealership, and they had a Javelin there. I'd
never seen one before, but that's a really neat car! There's enough
room in the engine bay to stuff a small country in there; it made the
440 in it look like a 4-banger! :-) The interior was really cool
too; I don't know how to describe it, its just the way the dash
zig-zagged around (almost looks like a fighter plane cockpit), the
little switches just under the instrument panel... Really neat!
Almost looks like something James Bond should be driving... I
could stand having something like that to tool around in. :-)
It was in good condition too; the paint was perfect, the interior
was nice. (The engine bay could have been better.) Too bad it was
an auto. ;-) I think they wanted about $10,000 for it.
