Car Spot: 1972 Javelin AMX

When American Motors won races. The 72 Javelin AMX is this week's spot.

From when AMC was still rocking the pony car world I’m a huge AMC geek, for those who don’t know it already, dad worked in the parts division for 27 years from 1963 to 1987. Those were fun times because he was always bringing fun stuff for me to drive after I got my license. Dad was a Nash guy before that so chances are I would have followed him right along. I especially like the late 60s to…

🇺🇲 Step back in time and experience the roar of the iconic AMC Javelin, a true legend of American muscle cars! Introduced in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC), the Javelin was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured across two generations, spanning from 1968 through 1970 and then from 1971 through 1974 model years. It was designed to compete in the pony car market segment against rivals like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.

🚗💨 The AMC Javelin burst onto the scene in 1968, showcasing a sleek design and powerful engines. Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin offered a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car variants to high-performance muscle car models. Its distinctive appearance, featuring a long hood and aggressive stance, turned heads on the streets and racetracks alike.

🏭 Besides being manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were also assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Australia, showcasing its global reach. American Motors even offered discounts to U.S. military personnel, leading to many Javelins being exported overseas.

🛞 Under the hood, the Javelin packed serious power. It was available with inline-six engines or potent V8s, delivering thrilling acceleration and speed. The AMX variant, equipped with a 6.4-liter V8, boasted over 300 horsepower!

🏆 The AMC Javelin wasn't just about looks—it excelled on the track too. It competed in Trans-Am racing, demonstrating its speed and agility. In fact, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency. Today, the Javelin's unique style and racing heritage make it a sought-after classic among collectors.

💔 By 1974, the automobile landscape had shifted. While other manufacturers downsized engines in response to changing market demands and fuel shortages, the Javelin's big engine option continued until production ceased in November 1974 amidst the Arab oil embargo and declining interest in high-performance vehicles.

🦅 The AMC Javelin embodies the spirit of American muscle cars, blending style, performance, and affordability. It's a timeless classic that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. Get ready to hit the road and experience the thrill of the AMC Javelin!

Happy to see an AMX getting some much deserved love and respect outside of AMC groups, very rare car and very underappreciated. I believe almost as many Javelins/AMXs were built as there were Plymouth Barracudas and DMC DeLoreans but I almost never see them in the general classic car world. Maybe once in a blue moon I'll catch one at a Barrett-Jackson auction on TV or at a car show in person. When AMC designed the Javelins and AMXs they had performance and hot rodding in mind. I don't know the first generation of Javelins/AMXs like this one as well as the second generation but American Motors went out and picked all of the best parts. For example, the wheel wells are already cut out if you wanted to put a set of big slick tires in the back, it has a motocraft 4300 carburetor which is the same as on the Shelby Cobra and the transmission is Chrysler meaning theoretically it could be engine swapped for a hemi. (I wouldn't do an engine swap though because AMC's engines were already good and I like to stay original. The 401 in the second generation Javelin AMXs is great).
