For 1971, AMC redesigned its pony/muscle lineup and combined Javelin and AMX as one model. Gone was the two-seater version, and now AMX was top of a top-of-the-line package for the Javelin model. As you probably know, if you wanted to run with the big boys in the early ’70s, you needed a big engine, and for Javelin AMX, AMC provided its most significant motor – 401 V8. This powerplant produced 335 HP, which was a respectable number.
