The Go package (or Go Pack[1]) was a factory option that included various performance equipment that was available on several muscle cars manufactured by American Motors Corporation (AMC). BackgroundDuring the late-1960s and early-1970s, domestic automakers lines used "catchy marketing campaigns, such as Dodge's Scat Pack, AMC's Go Package, and Ford's Total Performance."[2] American Motors Corporation planned a program to create a performance image that included a pulling-out from the antiquated Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA) edict against supporting automobile racing that was no longer followed by General Motors. Ford, or Chrysler.[3][4] Managers at the automaker made a decision "to go after the youth market ... AMC muscle soon flourished, including not just AMX and Javelin pony cars, but other potent packages like the Hurst SC/Rambler of 1969, Rebel Machine in 1970..."[5] The 1968 model year Javelin was the first model to offer AMC's optional "Go" package.[6] The official name on the dealer vehicle order forms from AMC was "Performance Package" and called Go Package in the automaker's sales brochures.[7] In contrast with high-performance versions - such as the 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler, 1970 Rebel Machine, and 1971 Hornet SC/360 - that had their own model number, only an original window sticker (Monroney sticker, factory order form, or a build sheet can authenticate whether a particular vehicle was originally factory equipped with a Go Pack because there is no identification code within the vehicle identification number (VIN) or on AMC's metal door tags to identify this option.[7] Available models
EquipmentThe actual contents of the Go Packs varied from year to year and according to specific models. For example, the Go Pack on the 1968 AMX included either the {{convert|343|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} or {{convert|390|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} 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.[8] Except for the racing stripes, the performance options could also be ordered individually on the 1968 and 1969 AMXs. For the 1970 model year AMXs and Javelins, the ram-air intake hood was only available as part of the Go Package.[9] The 1972 Go package was available only on the Javelin AMX models and included either a {{convert|360|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} or {{convert|401|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} high-output 4-bbl V8 with cowl air to carburetor induction system and dual exhausts, "Twin-Grip" differential, handling package, power disk brakes, heavy-duty cooling, a "T-stripe" on the hood, blacked out rear taillight panel, "Rally-Pac" instrumentation, E60x15 Polyglass raised while letter tires on 15"x7" styled steel wheels, and a "Space-Saver" spare tire.[10] The 1974 Javelin required ordering the Go Package to have the {{convert|401|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} V8 engine.[11] Notes1. ^{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=q1QfRF-g3rIC&pg=PA10&dq=AMC+Go+pack |pages=10–11 |title=Muscle cars: the legend lives on |first=Mark |last=Holmes |first2=Ivan |last2=Berg |publisher=Rosen Publishing |year=2013 |isbn=9781448892167 |accessdate=21 May 2017}} {{American Motors}}2. ^{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=SlEZDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA193&lpg=PA193&dq=Entire+manufacturer+lines+were+given+catchy+marketing+campaigns,+such+as+Dodge's+Scat+Pack,+AMC's+Go+Package,+and+Ford's+Total+Performance |title=Selling the American Muscle Car: Marketing Detroit Iron in the 60s and 70s |first=Diego |last=Rosenberg |publisher=CarTech |year=2016 |isbn=9781613252031 |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=FsOoB0XbWvwC&q=step+in+AMC's+carefully+planned+program+to+create+a+performance+image+could+be+a+pull-out+from+the+antiquated+AMA+resolution |page=101 |title=Classic Muscle: the evolution of the American musclecar |first=Mike |last=Mueller |publisher=National Street Machine Club |year=2005 |isbn=9781581592382 |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 4. ^{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=DR4y2DgC1wgC&pg=PA15&dq=Automobile+Manufacturers+Association+1957+anti-racing |page=15 |title=Tales of a Motion Performance Muscle Car Builder |first=Martyn L. |last=Schorr |year=2009 |publisher=MotorBooks International |isbn= 9780760335383 |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 5. ^{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=FZl_eagcWUsC&pg=PA101&dq=company+has+made+a+decision+to+go+after+the+youth+market.+...+AMC+muscle+soon+flourished,+including+not+just+AMX+and+Javelin+pony+cars,+but+other+potent+packages |page=101 |title=Motor City Muscle: The High-Powered History of the American Musclecar |first=Mike |last=Mueller |publisher= Motorbooks |year=2010 |isbn=9780760339442 |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 6. ^{{cite magazine|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=gtQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA128&dq=AMC+Go+package |page=130 |title=Gordon Johncock tests AMC's Javelin |first=Gordon |last=Johncock |journal=Popular Mechanics |date=November 1967 |volume=128 |issue=5 |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|url= http://www.planethoustonamx.com/main/amc_go_pack.htm |title=AMC AMX & Javelin "Go Pack" |first=Eddie |last=Stakes |publisher=planethoustonamx |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/AMC/1969_AMC/1969_AMC_Full_Line_Brochure/1969%20AMC%20Full%20Line-48.html |title=1969 AMC Full Line brochure |pages=33, 46, and 48 |publisher=oldcarbrochures.com |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/AMC/1970_AMC/1970%20AMC%20Full%20Line/image20.html |pages=20–21 |title=1970 AMC Full Line brochure |work=oldcarbrochures.com |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/AMC/1972_AMC/1972%20AMC%20Full%20Line%20Brochure/image15.html |page=15 |title=1972 AMC Full Line brochure |work=oldcarbrochures.com |accessdate=21 May 2017}} 11. ^{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=yPwcDJ10TtAC&pg=PA124&dq=Javelin+required+purchasing+401+Go+package |page=124 |title=American cars, 1973-1980: every model, year by year |first=J.
