Go package

The Go package (or Go Pack) was a factory option that included various performance equipment that was available on several muscle cars manufactured by American Motors Corporation (AMC).

History

The original name on the dealer vehicle order forms from AMC was "Performance Package" and called Go Package in the automaker's sales brochures. Only an original window sticker, order form, or build sheet can authenticate whether a particular vehicle was originally factory equipped with a Go Pack, because there is no identification in the VIN or AMC's metal door tags to identify this option.

Available models

• 1968–1970 AMC AMX
• 1968–1974 AMC Javelin
• 1970 Hornet SC/360
• 1971 Matador Machine

Equipment

The actual contents varied from year to year and models. For example, the Go Pack on the 1968 AMX included either the 343 cu in (5.6 L) or 390 cu in (6.4 L) high-output four-barrel V8 engine with a dual exhaust system and chromed exhaust tips, heavy-duty cooling system, power front disc brakes, uprated suspension for improved handling, "Twin-Grip" limited-slip differential, wide-tread red striped tires mounted on five-spoke "Magnum 500" wheels, and over-the-top racing stripes. Except for the racing stripes, the performance options could also be ordered individually. On the other hand, the 1974 Javelin required ordering the Go Package to have the 401 cu in (6.6 L) V8 engine.
