AMC AMX & Javelin "Go Pack"
Not to be confused with AMC Rally Pack;
The Go Package was a optional package of performance and styling for the AMX
and the Javelin. Originally called by AMC "THE POWER PACK"
It varied
from
year to year. NOTE THAT YOU COULD ORDER A GO-PACK AND DELETE SOME OF THE
ITEMS IN IT LIKE STRIPES.
There is NOTHING IN THE VIN OR METAL DOOR TAG that will indicate whether a
car was originally optioned with Go Pack.
Only a original window sticker,
dealer order form or computer build sheet will indicate whether the car was
a original Go Pack equipped car for authenticity. See more in this file
under production
figures.
You COULD NOT get a Go Pack on a six cylinder Javelin, a 304 Javelin, or a
290V8 AMX.
Here is a standard equipment listing for Go Pack cars from 1968 thru 1973.
1968-69 AMX & Javelin:
343V8 or 390V8 engine; power disc brakes; E70X14 redline tires; Twin Grip
Axle (posi); Handling Package; Seven Blade Flex Fan; Heavy Duty Cooling; Fan
Shroud; 140mph speedometer (69-70); 8000RPM Tachometer; Space Saver Spare;
Over The Top Roof Stripe (AMX only); Stripe Kit (Javelin). *Note in
1969-70
there was a separate package called the MOD Package for the Javelin, it
usually consisted...but not always...twin fiberglass non functional hood
scoops (69); simulated fake side exhausts; roof spoiler.
70 AMX & Javelin:
360V8 or 390V8 engine; Power Disc Brakes; E70X14 RWL
Tires; Twin Grip Axle (posi); Handling Package; Seven Blade Flex Fan; Heavy
Duty Cooling; Fan Shroud; 140mph speedometer; 8000RPM Tachometer; Space
Saver Spare; Ram Air Induction
71-74 AMX & Javelin:
360V8 or 401V8 engine; Rally Pak (this some call
tic-tac-tok, it consisted of a 140mph speedometer, fuel/temp/oil/amp combo,
clock super imposed over a tachometer); 15X7 Rally Wheels; Handling Package;
Fiberglass Cowl Induction Hood; Heavy Duty Cooling; Space Saver Spare; Hood
"T" Stripe; Rear Tailight Blackout Panel (painted around the tail
lights,
the
upper bumper was black tape, not paint). *1974 Go Package was same as above
except cowl induction was dropped.
**Note FUNCTIONAL COWL INDUCTION WAS A OPTION and not automatically included with Go Package!
No 1974 AMX was produced with "functional" cowl induction. A number of late 1974 AMXs were built with steel hoods as AMC ran out them when production ran into November 1974 instead of stopping July 31st, 1974. To keep the production lines moving, and avoid costly shutdowns, this was the only logical choice.
This consisted of a flapper assembly on top of the breather, and a
triangular metal shield inside the hood sandwiched between the upper
fiberglass and lower metal frame. The high back part of the hood facing
windshield had a open metal grate for cold air.
