Had a 72 also. Cops towed it when I was a kid (because I was a kid) and f'ed it up in the transfer to the impound. Still super bent about that 28 years later.
I wanted this car so badly when it was still for sale, I looked at it almost daily. It's almost exactly the way I would order one from the factory if I had the option today.
What a great looking car. I have always loved it too and seeing it today really tugs at my heart strings. I was looking to buy one when I was 20 but couldn't afford it and then ended up owning a 73 Hornet and a 77 Hornet, both great cars. Always loved AMC products. What a shame they are not in business today.
Felt I had to leave a comment as I am original owner of a 73 Javelin AMX. Ordered it March of 1973, took almost 6 weeks to build and ship to Art Post Rambler, Kalamazoo Mi. 401 4 speed with Go Pac, dealer install 3.73 rear gears. Console for 4-speed, inside hood release, power steering, all tinted glass, light group, under dash map light, AM/FM Motorola Stereo, body side scuff molding, under front bumper spoiler. Cordoba Brown with Gold fade to black hood T stripe. Sticker price $4,471.90, of that, the Go Pac option was $476.25 and that got the rare cowl induction, only 23% of AMX's ordered in 1973 were ordered with the Go Pac or roughly 1,027 had cowl induction. The cowl induction worked so well, that a 7% horsepower increase or around 18 more horsepower was realized with it. Sadly the 255 net advertised horsepower for 73 was much less than stated. A redesigned restrictive intake that now had the EGR valve. A more emission choked carburetor that flowed 475 cfm, the useless air injection that the 4 speed required, it had stainless steel tubes that extended all the way through the exhaust manifold all the way to just short of each exhaust valve. blowing a 5# air boost against the out going exhaust to aid in lowering unburned fuel. This worthless system did away with any benefit that the dog leg heads along with the free flo exhaust would have. The actual net horsepower of the 401 with 4-speed would be in the neighborhood of 220 to maybe 225. The 401 with automatic would fair a little better at around 230 net horse. The 74 AMX with 401 would be worse once again at around 215 net horsepower as AMC now rated the 401 at a choked 235 net horse power. Still the AMX was still a good looking car for it's last year.
AMC spent big time money on aerodynamics for Trans Am. They also put a lot of work into their Pro Stock race cars, NASCAR entries a well as their off road Jeep racers.
1: AMC did not have "matching number" engines to a specific car. 2: the 401, or, any AMC block for that matter, was a small block. Other than that, very nice car and video
"Z" code in the VIN should be considered a "number match", yeah ? Doesn't the "Bore Spacing" determine if a v8 is considered a big or small block? Is the Pontiac 455 a small block? then so is a 326 Pontiac? just food for thought. AMC DANA20 does have 12 bolts on its cover, (snack for thought?)
Great body style. Reminds me of the jet fighters of the time that used the flared front and rear to the fuselage called area rule. It decreased the drag to make it easier to go supersonic.
Bought a 73 new, green with the Can Am winner package. Loved that car but the 12 mpg in the middle of the first gas crisis forced me to trade for a Toyota Corolla.
If that really is a 12 bolt posi then it is not factory original. AMC only used one rear axle and that was the Dana model 20. Otherwise that car is fantastic.
This question begs to be asked; why did they not sell more of them? I looked at one (in Australia) when they were about ten years old, the doorswere just about to fall off because they wer too big and heavy for the hinges. Needless to say I walked away.
This video was poor. Do not show many details of the javelin, like the engine, suspension, driver side dash board, and back seats. But this car looks great.
he thinks if you can read words in a reflection it must be good paint, but if you look closely it looks like they forgot to buff it out. I think Macco would have done a better job.
I have a 1973 AMC amx sst 401 4spd car posi rear has black interior car is yellow for sale I might have lost the title for it but I have had it for 20 plus years now I got it from a salvage yard when i was like 16 years old. It's for sale I sold several parts off of it I do have the original motor and the bell housing but not the transmission has the clutch pedals in it. No hood doors fenders grill or taillights but I can probably get them back from the guy who bought them from me. I can get pictures of it also shoot me an offer
0:10 Couldn't agree more. Later generation Javelins have to be some of the most gorgeous cars ever sculpted.
Love how different this car is when compared to the big three. The interior is definitely of a higher quality than other period cars.
I want to see Chris tomorrow January 24th in Mississippi bare-knuckle
I HAD A 72 WITH A 401 4 SPEED, I SOLD IT WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OLD, THEY SHOULD MAKE IT A LAW, NOT TO SELL YOUR FIRST CAR OR TRUCK..
Had a 72 also. Cops towed it when I was a kid (because I was a kid) and f'ed it up in the transfer to the impound. Still super bent about that 28 years later.
I had a stock 72 Javelin when I was in high school back in the 80’s. That thing was so much fun. Sadly I sold mine too. I really miss it.
LOL LOL LOL I FEEL YA
heck no, I'd still have a '65 Plymouth Valiant. Great 1st car, but that slant 6 had no juice.
I like these cars more now than I used to.
My first car was a green 73 AMX 360 automatic 76000 mi. $700. In 79. I could not be beaten.

71 was the best year
Lololol man bun looks absolutely ridiculous. love the car

Nacho Varga's '73 AMC Javelin AMX sent me here.
Hahaha
I looked up all the cars that came out the year I was born and 73 had really bad ass hot rods
I'm sorry, I was distracted by your hair bun.
A new drinking game: Every time Man-Bun says "alright" .. you gotta chug your beer. Alright?
AMC spent big time money on aerodynamics for Trans Am. They also put a lot of work into their Pro Stock race cars, NASCAR entries a well as their off road Jeep racers.
God I miss my 74 javelin
We do too! Had the Big Bad Orange AMX 401 4sp with Go Pak plus had original air conditioning. Sigh......
The inner fender flair was done not for the wide tires but to create a draft to keep the car stable at high speeds.
there is a javelin near my house just sitting outside someones house. i had no idea how rare they are.
There were only about 1700 401 AMX's built in 71.
Jasper where are you and is it still there?
What a beautiful car!!
I love Javelins but those little AMX hursts are my absolute favorites.
The ONLY CAR..... I ever had a real CRUSH on was light red w/grey stripe ' 73 Javelin. ....
Let us know when you are ready to meet your CRUSH :)
1: AMC did not have "matching number" engines to a specific car. 2: the 401, or, any AMC block for that matter, was a small block. Other than that, very nice car and video
AMCMuscle also not a “12 bolt”. AMC model 20 (Dana 44).
"Z" code in the VIN should be considered a "number match", yeah ? Doesn't the "Bore Spacing" determine if a v8 is considered a big or small block? Is the Pontiac 455 a small block? then so is a 326 Pontiac? just food for thought.

Great body style. Reminds me of the jet fighters of the time that used the flared front and rear to the fuselage called area rule. It decreased the drag to make it easier to go supersonic.
Love the rear of the Javelin's, the rear spoiler is bad. I really like the stock wheels.
I want to buy one for my father! He had a 1973 .. I wish I could find one
Nice car... but that man-bun? Yikes.
Robert Napier that’s a twat knot
Thank you. There are those that get it and there are those but don't
"Ultra rare?" Just like mine 1973 AMX 401 4spd, plum metalic exterior, white interior with 37k original miles
do you want to sell it??
@@jasonpursley3206 Not yet.
The bun is not manly at all. Somebody's been lyeing to you. Yikes...
As a Kenosha resident the Javilin is quite manly !!.
Haha old women at my church wore those in the 70s
Has no place on a man
Missing the front spoiler that came with the AMX package....
great car, hate the bun
Bought a 73 new, green with the Can Am winner package. Loved that car but the 12 mpg in the middle of the first gas crisis forced me to trade for a Toyota Corolla.
Nice car , I am Looking For A 1971 AMC Javelin SST
Hey Ron, Give us a call at 301-816-1000 and well help you find your 1971 Javelin SST
Who wouldn't be?
I just sold a red one in Texas
If that really is a 12 bolt posi then it is not factory original. AMC only used one rear axle and that was the Dana model 20. Otherwise that car is fantastic.
Whats the price for one deseant 73 Javelin AMX, and how seldom for sale???
The 74 trans am SD455 wasn’t the only surviving muscle car to get made in 1974
This question begs to be asked; why did they not sell more of them? I looked at one (in Australia) when they were about ten years old, the doorswere just about to fall off because they wer too big and heavy for the hinges. Needless to say I walked away.
MAN BUN???
my HotWHeels javelin
AMC should have put out a ragtop version.
American Motors Mach 1...from Samurai Motors
This video was poor. Do not show many details of the javelin, like the engine, suspension, driver side dash board, and back seats. But this car looks great.
The hood dosen't fit right.
annoying, isn't it?😁
Is it for sale still?
390 V-8 4sp Javelin header factory!
I got a 360 automatic, its a 71
he thinks if you can read words in a reflection it must be good paint, but if you look closely it looks like they forgot to buff it out. I think Macco would have done a better job.
Yeah, I've seen plenty of bad paint where you could see the reflection. There is much more to it than that.
I had 73 AMX
Is this the same year of Nachos ride
Is it still available
Hey Malik, No this car sold about a year ago. we can help you find another, call us: 301-816-1000
Flemings Ultimate Garage ; Awesome thanks ok

So its a shell pretty much with some parts?
Go file for a duplicate pink that will help the sale
Shave the head, and STOP with the BIB block. No such thing in an AMC. And you need LESS squawk in the shop and A LOT MORE drive time.
my uncle has one
Get rid of the bun
