AMC Javelin AMX

The 1971 AMC Javelin AMX was AMC’s high-performance pony car, built to take on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger. As the second-generation Javelin’s range-topping model, the AMX featured aggressive styling, a powerful V8 engine lineup, and a proven racing pedigree in Trans-Am competition.

Unlike its competitors, the Javelin AMX blended raw muscle car power with a slightly longer wheelbase, giving it a distinctive look and road presence. This model marked AMC’s push for dominance in both performance and design, setting it apart from the more mainstream muscle cars of the era.
