1973 AMC Javelin AMX 360

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Celebrated as AMC’s answer to the evolving muscle car market, the Javelin carried forward the bold styling and performance-oriented spirit of its predecessors while adapting to changing regulations and design trends of the early ‘70s. Featuring aggressive front-end styling, flared fenders, and available V8 power, the AMX package represented the top performance trim for the Javelin lineup during this period.

This 1973 AMC Javelin AMX is finished in black over a black vinyl interior and is powered by a 360 cubic-inch V8 modified with a FiTech 30001 throttle body fuel-injection system and paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The car features a range of performance-oriented modifications, including Speedhut instrumentation and Wilwood disc brakes.

According to the seller, the previous owner acquired the vehicle in 2015 and began work on it. The current seller then purchased the car as a project in 2024, with reported work including attention to the ignition system.

This 1973 AMC Javelin AMX is now offered at no reserve with various spare parts and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
