1971 AMC Javelin

*1971 AMC Javelin SST* American Motors Corporation (AMC) is one of the often forgotten contributors to the muscle car boom of the late 1960s and early 1970s. With cars like the Javelin and AMX, AMC made some truly competitive products and even won the Trans-Am race series with the Javelin in 1971, 1972 and 1976, against cars like the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. This 1971 Javelin SST was from the first year of the second generation Javelin, which had seen a complete redesign that ran until 1974. Finished in light metallic blue, this Javelin benefits from a comprehensive, rotisserie restoration by North American Muscle Cars between 2018 and 2019 and remains in exceptional condition. The 1971 redesign included unique fender bulges, a rear spoiler and long sloping front hood. As an SST, this car occupied the middle trim level for the era, giving the vehicle full length pinstripes, upgraded interior materials and more exterior brightwork. Sitting on a set of 500 Magnum chrome wheels, this car looks as good as the day it rolled out of the showroom and is very deserving of its Best in Class win at the 2025 AMC Rally in Vancouver, WA. Open the door and the interior of this Javelin feels far more refined than most of its muscle car competition from the era. Wood applique covers the dashboard and portions of the door cards, while the two-tone dark blue and black vinyl interior looks quite upscale with two bucket seats in front and a bench in the rear. Sit in the drivers seat and you are met by a deep-dish 3-spoke steering wheel that frames a unique 3-gauge pack with a central speedometer, multi gauge to the left and a tachometer with a clock in the center. To your right is a console with a Hurst shifter, and controls for the heating and air conditioning are situated behind that. Under the hood sits an AMC 360ci V8 that is rated at 300 horsepower and 341 lb-ft of torque. During the restoration, the engine was rebuilt with a performance cam, so that number may be a bit higher. Power is then sent through a 4-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Under the car, front power disc brakes are paired with rear drums. The car runs and drives fantastically and is a great representation of what a classic muscle car of the era was like when new. If you love the ethos of American muscle cars - but want something a bit more offbeat, the Javelin is a great option. For every restored Javelin at your local car show, there will be dozens of Camaros, Mustangs and Chevelles, so it is a great way to get a fun to drive car that also is extremely unique. This example presents in fantastic condition throughout and will be a joy to own for years to come. *Key Features* * Full Rotisserie Restoration w/Invoices * Over $100,000 Spent * Best in Class at 2025 AMC Rally * 360ci V8 * 300 Horsepower/341 Lb-Ft of Torque * Performance Cam * Edelbrock 650 CFM Carburetor * 500 Magnum Wheels * Vinyl Bucket Seats * 4-Speed T-10 Manual Gearbox * Hurst Shifter * Power Front Disc Brakes For more information on this 1971 AMC Javelin SST or any of our 100+ Luxury, Exotic and High-Performance sports cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 5-acre Bellevue, WA campus with over 40,000 sq ft of Indoor Showrooms - Home of the West Coast's Most Exciting and Diverse Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
