Vehicle Description
This 1973 American Motors Corporations (AMC) Javelin is a great
example of a "Pony Car" from the early 1970's. The 1973 two-door
fastback design has new aggressive front fenders that blend well
with the smoothly sculpted hood and roof lines while still showing
many design similarities with the previous generation Javelins and
AMX's.
The Olympic Blue Metallic paint shows well with only light ware and
small imperfections. The body shows no dents or signs of rust. The
classic Cragar wheels go very well with chrome bumpers and trim
lines. All lights and signals are working properly and the badges
are appropriate (the missing front grill badge in photos has been
replaced.).
The original AMC-built 1973 360ci V8 engine underwent a performance
buildup bringing the now 401ci engine to 450 hp according to the
paperwork provide with the car. The Edelbrock "Performer" 4-barrel
intake manifold connects to a Holley 4-barrel carburetor providing
plenty of fuel and air to get the Javelin off the line. The Headman
headers and Flowmaster 2 �" dual exhaust adds a great sound to the
occasion! The power is transferred through a 4-speed manual
Borg-Warner T-10 transmission to the Model 20 rear axle that came
stock with AMC's Twin-Grip limited-slip differential.
The coil-based independent front suspension and rigid rear axle
with parallel semi-elliptic leaf springs allow for a smooth drive
while the power front disc brakes allow for a quick stop.
The Black Charcoal interior is in very good condition with the
vinyl front bucket and rear bench seats showing little wear. The
Hurst shifter allows for a clean shift while using the well-tuned
clutch. All gauges have been updated with new Auto Meter
digital.
This AMC Javelin is an affordable classic "Pony" car that is a
blast to drive.
