When he graduated high school in 1972, D.L. Beach had pinched his pennies and was ready to purchase his first new car. The problem, he laments, is that he’d missed out on the heyday of muscle on the showroom floor, and his 1973 model year choices were much slimmer. He almost went with an SD455 Trans Am, but a close friend was an American Motors executive so he sat down to fill out an order for an awesome Javelin AMX: 401 Go Pac, auto, console, Twin-Grip diff with 3.15 gears, E60-15 Goodyear Polyglas tires with Rally wheels, A/C, heavy-duty suspension, handling package with disc brakes, heavy-duty cooling, AM/FM Multiplex radio, light group, and visibility group. Must have been a good pairing; D.L. still owns the well-optioned AMC to this day. It is a bit faster now, thanks to ported ’71 AMC heads, shorty headers, Cam-Motion cam, and an Edelbrock 880-cfm carb and Air-Gap intake. The heavy-duty suspension works even better now with higher rate coils and leaves, and sway bars from AMX Industries. “It’s hard for me to believe I’ve owned this car for nearly 40 years,†D.L. says. “Every time I’m in that seat I become an 18-year-old boy again. What a ride it’s been.â€
