Vehicle Description
The AMC Javelin is a pony car that was built by AMC between 1967
and 1974 in two generations, model years 1968 to 1970 (with a
separate design in 1970) and 1971 to 1974. The sporty Javelins came
only as two-door hardtop (with no "B" pillar) body style, and were
available in economical versions or as high-performance muscle
cars. Javelins won the Trans-Am race series with AMC sponsorship in
1971 and 1972, and independently in 1976. The second-generation AMX
version was the first pony car to be used as a normal highway
patrol police car by any U.S. organization. In addition to
manufacture in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were assembled under
license in Germany, Mexico, Venezuela, and Australia. They were
also sold in other international markets.
Sales of convertibles were dropping and AMC did not have the
resources to design separate fastback and notchback hardtops that
were available on the Mustang and on the second-generation Plymouth
Barracuda, so the AMC designer team under Richard A. Teague penned
only one body style, "a smooth semi-fastback roofline that helped
set Javelin apart from other pony cars." The Javelin was built on
AMC's Rambler American platform only as a two-door hardtop model to
be a hip, dashing, affordable pony car, as well as available in
muscle car performance versions. Despite management's insistence on
things like good trunk space and rear- seat room, Teague managed to
endow the Javelin with what he termed the wet T-shirt look:
"voluptuous curves with nary a hint of fat."
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this beautiful 1974 AMC AMX
Javelin. The car features its factory "P" code 360 v8 4 barrel with
factory Ram Air. The car runs very well and the transmission shifts
smoothly as it should. The manifolds were upgraded to Hedman
headers and dual exhaust. The Jetset blue paint shows very well and
the interior remains in excellent condition as well. The Javelin
rides on 15 inch Cragar wheels with P235/60 BFG Radial T/A tires in
the front and P275/60 in the rear. The engine is believed to have
been rebuilt in 2011. The car has power brakes and power steering.
The car comes with a service book and large stack of receipts
pertaining to the car.
