AMC Javelin Parts & Accessories

The AMC Javelin was American Motors' direct entry into the pony car market, produced from 1968 to 1974 across two distinct generations. The first-generation car used a 109-inch wheelbase and offered inline-six and V8 engines up to the 390 cubic-inch unit. The restyled 1971 to 1974 second generation brought more aggressive sheetmetal, a 110-inch wheelbase, and the legendary 401 cubic-inch V8 producing 330 horsepower, making the AMX-badged Javelin one of the quickest factory muscle cars of its era. AMC also campaigned the Javelin successfully in Trans-Am road racing, adding to its motorsport legacy.

Popular Upgrades

Javelin owners most commonly source exhaust headers for the 360 and 401 V8s, Edelbrock or Weiand intake manifolds, Holley carburetor upgrades, and front disc brake conversion kits. Suspension improvements include adjustable front coilover conversions, tubular control arms, and rear traction bars that put the 401's power to the pavement without wheel hop.

What is the AMC Javelin AMX?

The Javelin AMX was a performance package applied to the standard Javelin body beginning in 1971, replacing the separate two-seat AMX sports car. It included the 401 cubic-inch V8, a Go Package suspension, dual exhaust, and distinctive graphics. The 1971 Javelin AMX with the 401 delivered 0-60 mph times in the mid-6-second range, placing it directly among the fastest cars of its era.

Did AMC race the Javelin in Trans-Am?

Yes. AMC entered the Javelin in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am Series from 1970 to 1972 under Penske Racing with Mark Donohue as the primary driver. The team won the 1971 Trans-Am manufacturer's championship, a genuine motorsport achievement that AMC used extensively in its marketing and which cemented the Javelin's performance reputation.
