1970 AMC JAVELIN Fun Facts
The AMC Javelin was a “pony car” built by the American Motors Corporation between 1968 and 1974. It was intended to rival other similar cars of the era such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. To fit into a wide variety of budgets, AMC offered the Javelin with a variety of engines that included the 232 six-cylinder variant all the way up to the might eight-cylinder power-plants. The 343 cubic-inch four-barrel V8 was a serious performance machine offering, with 280 horsepower and 365 foot-pounds of torque. Optional disc brakes and wide tires helped the driver keep the vehicle in control. When AMC debuted the Javelin in 1968, the full production version of one of the AMX prototypes that was shown around the USA during the 1966 AMX project tour, it was available with a variety of AMC engines from an economical 232 in³ straight-six through three V8s, including (with the optional “Go Package”) a four-barrel carbureted 343 cu in (5.6 L) V8. That package also included power front disc brakes, dual exhausts, and wide tires. The SST trim level gave a greater degree of luxury. In 1969 the AMX 390 in³ (6.4 L) engine was offered as a Javelin option. A “Big Bad” paint (neon brilliant blue, orange and green) option was available on Javelins and AMXs in 1969 and 1970. The “Mod Javelin” Package included an unusual roof mounted spoiler and twin blacked-out fake air scoops on the hood. American Motors supported the AMX and Javelin with a full range of “Group 19” dealer installed performance accessories. These included a dual four barrel cross ram intake manifold, a high performance camshaft kit, needle bearing roller rocker arms, dual point ignition, and much more.

There are many active AMC car clubs for these cars, and parts availability is reasonably good. Collector interest in AMC products is now increasing. The Javelin does not command the high prices of some of other muscle car and pony car models. However, in its day the Javelin always sold respectably well, and regularly outsold both the Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Challenger so popular today.
