1974 AMX Javelin 401 automatic

[kwazhimself]

im gonna steal this fuckin car

[david10006]

that sweet,sweet idle rumbling....

[thebmr321]

is that the sound of solid lifters?

[4BBodies]

@thebmr321 It's a high overlap cam, the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time at idle, causing a scavenging effect. Higher revs smooth out the process. Comp Cams "Thumper" cams do it, as do Lunati "Voodoo" cams. I have one in my Roadrunner, guys that don't know musclecars say it isn't running right....until I take them for a ride.

[thebmr321]

@4BBodies okay i see but you gotta understand that i only understood part of that ,im 14 and just learning some of these things,see my older brother drives a 1990 BMW and it has solid lifters that make it click and he told me it would sound something like this if he had different exhaust,so this is what i thought it would sound like and was just asking,but thank you for the response!

[externalpower]

boo poo poo bo boo

[Brendon00000]

volksman2332, you said it, I cant stand lumpy harleys but this I could dream about lol

[volksman2332]

I could pull up a chair and listen to that idle all day long.

[Brendon00000]

beautiful, love the whole thing, almost got my own javelin the other day, ad turned out to be fake dammit lol, love these so much more than mustangs or camaroes, but look at some pictures and tell me it looks something like a 70 mustang and a challenger mixed

[mroldemployee]

What size cam does it have in it?

[justsumguy2u]

i'm surprised you sold that car; they'd have to pry the keys from my cold dead hands.

[uhfnutbar1]

who fuck you up the stripe to wide

[teamredneck1]

i used to have one of these back when i was 18 & loved it, of course it had a 383 stroker with a turbo 350 trans. but i blew the shit outta the moter from being young & stupid as hell trying to race it. couldn't afford to put a another moter in it so i sold it. WORSE THING I EVER DID, I MISS THAT CAR MORE THEN MY X WIFE!!!!!

[uhfnutbar1]

i had a 73 401 amx to bad you miss out on the cawl indutin hood :)

[Motoveight]

That's dead sexy! Bad ass.

[KISSARMYHQ]

wow, thought I didn't like this yr. AMX, thought I didn't like this colour but wow persuasive, from a Mopar /GM guy sweet

[BOGATA9]

at 0.35 it looks like a 70 shelby. Like this car!!

[retrojaxed2]

oh god i want one...

[fordgt98]

did you put a cam in that or did it sound like that stock?

[caniwitech]

@fordgt98 Yeah, most engine don;t run well without a cam........

[fordgt98]

@caniwitech im going to assume you mean an aftermarket cam, smart ass

[mdew90210]

not that many ppl like muscle cars anymore... so im glad to see all these ppl

[uhfnutbar1]

beleve it or not but the AMX/Javelin was one of the fasted cars sold for that year in the USA

[TANSD]

Mother of god...

[snowman4839]

whoa? why was it idling at 3k??

[gradxg]

@snowman4839 listen to the thing... they dont sound like that at 3000 rpms buddy

[snowman4839]

@gradxg idk why I said that. I just rewatched the video and my comment doesn't make a whole lotta sense

[alfaromeoash]

nice car burt, I like your moustache too

[DarknessWyvern]

Be honest, and I'd prefer as many people reply AP: Would you drive (or do you) drive something old American muscle for regular commuting?

[kane38885]

@DarknessWyvern yep, be the talk of the cubicles lol

[midnitesquirldog]

amc is 1 of the fastest american muscle cars ever made mostly it was for girls the auto company targeted girls thats what everyone says lmao a girl with a 390 with 2- 4 barreals amazing.... now they want everyone to drive 4 cylinder pile of shit any new car i dont care if it cost 90k its still junk compared to all the cars from the 80's and back open your eyes people !

[fvboss429]

holly fuck!

just feel the engine

[stuccoboy]

My dad is still in the process of rebuilding 401, its finally running and back in his garage! Next step is a paint job!

[ohwowjillybob1]

I almost had one of these. But my friend stabbed me in the back.

[MUSTANGMAN50LX]

thats a sweet ass car man

[TheAMXFAN]

going to have my 71 auto on the road SOON!

[SixSpeedSS]

Is there any commonly preferred year on these???? I like both the 71 style tail lights, and this style a lot, maybe even more. Either tail lights remind me of different year Challengers I've previously owned.

[SixSpeedSS]

Awesome car! Love the look, and ofcourse she sounds good too. I remember these being quite rare even back in the day. Out of all the cruising, car shows, and drags, I've only seen a few of these in person decades ago. Very very seldom seen. I used to think they had potential, but looked a little odd with the wheel position, now it's just screaming 70's wild AMC to me. I might just have to try n get one of these.

Thanks for posting this clip, enjoyed it.

[00Mickx]

Very Nice!!!

[Martink309]

Now that's a beautiful car. I hope you keep it that way. Too many muscle cars are butchered and buggered up with after market junk. Man, that's a nice one!

[RnetProductions]

i bought a amx javelin a year ago for around $8,500 no rust running great all original 1973 360

[f4uSt1c3k]

Chevrolet camaro SS 1969 is best

[funkeytoad08]

@f4uSt1c3k Camaro's are like assholes, (there everywhere) Not many of these beasts around anymore. Wish I still had my old Javelin.

[CamaroAmx]

@funkeytoad08 I have 2 camaros (both 4th gens), but I also have a 73 AMX (304 V8 auto) I bought back in high school for $550.

[rafaga08]

nice car!! nice sound!!!

[surferboy115]

get this exact car on thurday the 28th for

6K 401 auto. just a lil rust here and there. but good car

[ducatinova]

awesome car, not a fan of the rear paint treatment, but otherwise, very sweet.

[plymouthroadrunner1]

Excellent car. Have two 1974's in the family since new. Is that a new Challenger behind the X?

[4QBUD]

Sounds like someones popping corn in a Tin Can!

Horrible audio in those days, eh?

[AngelusofDeus]

beautiful! to bad its an automatic :(

[Blackinterceptor999]

Needs a TKO 5 speed, i wish i could afford one for my car, lil over three grand for everything to do my swap.

[cederikleon]

i have a 1973 javelin with 4 speed manual transmition, can i change it at less one with 5 and R?

[Blackinterceptor999]

I only saw a picture of a 401 with a T-5 bolted up it matched very well, This is just a guess but I'd imagine the same way the guy got the T5 to bolt up the TKO could do it too, I think I was Googling random stuff about AMC 401's and stumbled upon it, I got a Jeep with a TH400 auto. by the way Those 73's are very nice! Your best bet for a real answer is the forums. The car I was talking about in the comment was an 87 Crown vic two door with a 351w, Wish I had a Javi. AMC rocks!

[DX721]

What cam do you have in there? DAMN!!!

[ajb15002]

Cool car but my God they were ugly mutts! 50% Camaro, 50% Mustang, 50%Challenger, 50% funnycar.... x)

[jzama85]

really nice ride, dude! I love that sound!

[euthanasia1]

sweeeet ride I want it and they can have a feather in their arse we both be tickled lol

[TheClash122]

I think I just drooled on myself.

[iminitforthep0rn]

i think i just did something too, but it wasnt drooling

[SupraCelica98]

I think i just jizzed on myself.

[Amjav2t]

Yours sounds like mine. I have a '74 Javelin 360,4bbl dual flowmasters 3" exhaust.

That was awesome, thanks.

[Rickvoerman]

dawn... what a car!!

I just love it!!!!!!

and then there are still people who want to drive a jap :S

are they just stupid or what?!

[NellsStuff]

Hmmm... all I can think of is "cam"... can't think why...

[Prettydog62]

i would give you loads for that car!

ho wmuch is it?

[BlueKyne]

That is one boss ride, man!!

[lashwhip]

sounds remarkably like the start to Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher".

[sfinder6969]

they dont make them like this in europe....its amazing!!

[GREE419]

lol nope thats pure american muscle at its best

[axeflanker]

beatiful mother fucker!!!.. sorry, this came out from my very soul.

[sdavidson15]

looks and sounded gr8. cars should have not been sold by their owners. Javelins are keepers don't get rid of them

[chevycamaro1976]

sounds good is it open headers

[jerryddonald]

Is this car for sale?

[BurtReynoldsFU]

Sorry no, This car sold quite some time ago. I do have a 71 AMX 360 Manual transmission I might sell.

[Shaguar66]

please be a wise guy and don'T sell your manual transmission AMX. if i would have a muscle car like this with a manual transmission .... i don'T know how lucky i were. manual transmission rocks.

[Isolerare]

@BurtReynoldsFU sold ?

[nickjoeleo]

my dad had same year but firebird red

[Dominykas14]

it looks sooo badass

[aroundthefur]

whereabouts in CT is this?

[grupfeza]

i had a chance to change it with my ford focus c-max at summer 2008 but some reasons happened and i didnot change it... i am still sad to see it , its a real car , its a real boy , its a real friend...

[redsamuraidragon]

sounds great!

[pling501]

This Car Still Available?

[hpeabs]

unfortunately no this car was sold to a gentleman in Alabama...I do have a 71 AMX 360 3spd manual that my restoration shop is finishing next week. The car is Light metallic blue with the correct black fade T stripe.  All chrome has been redone along with paint and interior. This car is going to be super nice. I haven't decided if I am going to sell it or not. I'll let you know if I do. 71 AMX's are the lowest numbered produced and nearly impossible to find. Thanks for asking

[BIGEN8991]

amx man, huh

[goamc71]

I bought a "71 new when I came back from the big pond. I wish I still had it. My butt still hurts from kicking it.

[nikvanlanduyt]

Beautiful car, I live in the UK and love muscle cars, I had the matchbox model of this type of car when I was a baby lol.

[Barsopen1970]

I never thought i'd see the day where the words " UK " & " Muscle Car " were mentioned in the same sentence ?

Be like finding a rare big piece of gold would'nt it ?

Fiat, Rover, Citroen and all those little uglies maybe ... but a Javelin ?

[michiganmadman]

Nice! I have a 71 javelin AMX with a 360 just got the inside done, 12pt. cage, race seats and harnesses. It has weld pro star rims. It just needs paint and roller engine with ported and polished heads, assembled and installed, but Im all out of funds, may have to sell her! $5000 anyone??

[hmitchell2012]

Are you still selling your javelin?

[ChevelleSSLS6]

what's the engine build specs? (cam, intake, carb, etc?)

[sdavidson15]

I hear Flowmasters? whats it bored out to.I have a 74 360 .040 over 488*/488* mild have flowmasters on two and a half inch pipe out the back should hold on to it don't sale.you will regret later I know I was 16 when I bought my 1st 1971 Jave then a couple more later a 72,and a 73 then sold them all went about 12 years then found a 74 Jave/AMX that need a few parts then came across a 71 javelin it was my same 1st jave from 12 yrs before I knew it was mine I found my selective service card in it.

[VodeoJMC63]

awesome car! i've always thought the javelin looks as if a 69 camaro and a boss mustang mated, and this was their very handsome offspring!

[vbchad91]

Thats what im talkin about

sweet car

[AMXBOY73]

looks tuff.

[cheesepuff2008]

oops, sorry Whuntmore didn't mean to put a thumbs down on your comment, ment to put a thumbs up.

sweet car man.

[Whuntmore]

Nice. I've always loved the '73-'74 of the Javelin AMX. I'd settle for an SST.

Nice car and it looks good.

[goodlikethat123]

thats a hella nice rare car.

[amxjavelin73]

i got a 73 PC edition Whats this one going for
