In the realm of classic muscle cars, there is probably no car more underrated than the AMC Javelin AMX. As the underdog in the pony car wars, this handsome 1973 AMC Javelin AMX, has been restored and modified to perfection. Powered by a potent 6.6-liter (401 cubic-inch) V8 engine and adorned with modern enhancements, this black beauty is a stunning representation of vintage meets contemporary.
With a sleek black exterior finish and striking red hood graphics, the 1973 AMC Javelin AMX emanates timeless charm and undeniable presence. Custom multi-color Javelin AMX lettering on the rear spoiler adds a personal touch to this classic muscle car. Chrome bumpers with rubber overriders, polished chrome trim, and 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust D alloy wheels further elevate its visual appeal. The side pipes and dual exhaust system with Quick Time Performance electric cut-outs not only amplify its vintage allure but also introduce a modern touch to the classic design.
Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a meticulously retrimmed interior featuring black vinyl upholstery with patriotic red, white, and blue inserts on the front bucket seats and rear bench. The amenities include air conditioning for a comfortable driving experience, three-point seatbelts for added safety, and an American Motors push-button AM/FM radio, which retains a touch of nostalgia while offering a pleasant auditory experience. The leather-wrapped Grant steering wheel, mounted on a tilting column, enhances driving comfort and control.
Under the hood lies the heart of this beast—a 6.6-liter (401 cubic-inch) V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt Positraction rear end with a 3.70:1 gear ratio. The original 5.9-liter (360 cubic-inch) V8 has been replaced, and the current powertrain offers exceptional performance. The engine’s overhaul, features Keith Black pistons, Manley pushrods, Comp Cams camshaft, stainless-steel valves, and an Edelbrock Thunder 18064 carburetor, delivering more power and responsiveness.
This 1973 Javelin AMX is not just about raw power; it offers an enhanced driving experience through thoughtful modifications. The Control Freak front coil-over conversion kit and KYB dampers provide improved handling and stability, ensuring an exhilarating ride around every corner. Power-assisted Wilwood discs in the front and rear drums offer reliable and efficient braking capabilities, something that the Javelin could only have dreamed of in 1973.
The current owner acquired this Javelin AMX in May 2023, and it comes with extensive documentation, including refurbishment records and receipts, giving buyers peace of mind about its history and quality. The odometer shows approximately 20k miles, with an “exempt from odometer disclosure” notation on the Pennsylvania title.
As the bidding comes to a close on Tuesday, August 1st, at 1:24 p.m. EST on the popular automotive website BringATrailer.com, eager AMC enthusiasts must act swiftly to seize this rare opportunity.
