the trunnions went away in 71...
the javelin was Not inspired by the fat whale mustang of the same years lol.
the only bodylines that was even close to this was the corvette stingray.
poor Mr Teague,hed be upset by that ford comment.
him And mr Kugler.
they specifically did the flared fenders for mark donahues trans am efforts.
needed more tire under the cars.
if you get one,always shoot for the 71-74.
the engines got dogleg heads after 70,which really improved the motors.
the transmission changed over to Mopar trans in 72,using a diff Crank as well in the motors.
most javelins that have been " restored" are not numbers matching and theres no way to tell,
because any and all body/engine tags are removeable.
71 grilles are priceless/amx grilles are as well.
All years used the 71 base grill as part of the Amx grill package.
keep in mind the cranks didnt change in 71,
so either get a 4 speed car or pass because 71 used the Awful borg warner automatic.
also,the rearends...sigh..
amc used Keyways to hold the axles and they break quite easily with any kind of power.
if you plan to keep it stock,plan on Double keywaying the axles.
finally value...the values are all over the place,but usually,
5-10 grand will get you a nice driver quality car...
the best of the best still only around 30 grand for a 401 4 speed amx car.
the parts on these cars is Often worth more than the car itself.
i have owned so many ive forgotten how many,
in fact i just sold a parts car/73 360 auto console car.
my fav was my white 73 401 4 speed amx,that i used to race and run shine in.
yes he smoke dope i think.
