1971 Javelin AMX

AMC gets overlooked, underrated, and underappreciated by collectors, and it has nothing to do with the cars themselves. AMC built some of the hottest muscle of the Golden Age, it just never had the name recognition of the Big Three. Store-brand chips can taste just as good as the name brand, and the 1971 Javelin AMX with a 330-horsepower 401 V8 proves the same point on four wheels.

The numbers aren't a joke. The '71 Javelin AMX ran a 13.8-second quarter mile, while the detuned Chevelle SS 454 and Olds 442 were both stuck in the 14s that same year. A car from a company most people can barely name outran two of the biggest badges in muscle car history.

A built 401 costs less than a built 454, both averaging same final hp, there are so many options for power addition it's not even funny. If it's not just bolt on, the connecting rod/piston variations are just as staggering in selection as anything GM.

They used the same 4 speed Muncie trans, GM rear ends, steering boxes, sectors, linkage.

All Makes Corporation was no joke when it came to using others parts. Hell even the automatic trans was a modified bell housing th400.

Finding a donor body javelin or gremlin is as simple as going to the yard and talking to the owner.

And the Ramones

And the Sex Pistols
