Great looking car. hood scoop aaahh. sounds good but your trans is going out and/or you are missing the trans linkage or its way out of adjustment. TV linkage is a must on 904s or the trans will burn up fast. Also good choice on the wheels they look good. happy owner of 70 AMX. 70 Javelin. 59 American 2dr wagon.
Yeah sounded like a soft / slipping 1-2 shift… the TV cable adjusted properly would bump up line pressure… could also be the 2nd gear band out of adjustment.

That's a replica scoop from a 69 Hurst SS/AMX. I have one on my 74 Gremlin. that scoop looks great on that Javelin. Learn something before you call it what you did.
Niet mijn auto. Was van vriend, die heeft na deze een Pontiac Firebird gekocht. Te zien in andere filmpje. De reden van verkoop weet ik niet. Weet wel dat hij er niet veel geld voor gekregen heeft. Zat meer in denk ik

I was 14 in 1972. Our wealthy neighbors always had new expensive cars, usually Oldsmobile or Cadillac. But their daughter who was 17 wanted a new Javelin. Hers was a medium dark brown with a darker brown vinyl top and rally wheels. It was quite a beauty.
Sorry but that's not a launch, that's just a pull away. LOL! When you can't even spin radial tires you got problems! On top of that I never liked the body design of these cars either.
@@justjamesAMX sorry I don't know everything about this car because it's not mine. I do know that the engine has been overhauled and that the 3rd size pistons have gone in. I was further told that the volume has increased and is now 5.2 liters
The reason why there are none on the road is they spin out in the rain . Worst handling car in snow , ice and water on Earth next to a Mach One Mustang of the same era
High Performance Cars, Low Performance Drivers. Pretty sure the vehicle handles fine, but there's a lot of silly people out there who only think they can drive.

Amc might have been the 4th Big three. They made some cool ass Musclecars thoe!
This car had it all. Good styling, great sound, and AMC gave us some extremely reliable engines
Too bad it’s an automatic, but what a fabulous car none the less!

She’s a real beauty 👍
Beautiful 😍
Had one back in the day with a 4 speed back then we called them the tin vette
Sweet
Florida summer of 1986. First time down south. Saw an AMX take off from a red light and I havent forgotten it to this day.
You know those things are still rolling around, right? Car shows down south are one hell of a sight, let me tell you.
@@thesomewhatfantasticmrfox absolutely 👍🏻 just saw an AMX at my local Walmart over the summer. $hit my panties

There's room for a v16 under that hood
I have been a Ford guy my whole life, but if I ever cheated.....it would be with a Javelin.
Time for a shift kit.
This guy must be in a different country. In America we burn rubber. Give your America car what it wants man!
No kidding that was pretty weak for a foreigner.
... если бы писали сколько лошадок как в других обзорах аме- ских машин то этот Marvin был бы на высоте.
The AMX/ Javelin is one of the best looking muscle cars to ever hit the streets….👍🏼👍🏼
Needs the 3:90 sure grip
These were soooo freakin cool!
The Grant wheel tho……. :nonono:
grant steering wheel kinda smallish and gaudy looking...should have kept the amc sports 3 spoke steering wheel...tbh
@@ralfbond258 100%
dont think they came with a 5.2 that would be a 318 they did have a 360 not chrysler so it would be a 5.9
What a sexy, and beautiful design that car was!
5.2L? Does it have a MOPAR 318 V8? AMC doesn't have a 5.2L.
No, it's an AMC built 304.
@@jeepman1467 The AMC 304 is a 5.0L not a 5.2L
@@tskraj3190 You're right but sure looks like an AMC engine.
Why do people try to convert to metric on classic muscle car engines? It’s a 304 but sounds damn good for a little 304.

That depends on how often you drive it 😬

You get to be the guy that banged the neighbor? Heh
Gawd those are sweet.
5.2 ? 317 C.I. WTF caca you need big velve 360 5.9 L
304. Build your own instead of cutting this guy down .
5.2
That cheesy ass hood scoop has got to go....

Thanks for your comment. if you don't find the launch fast enough and the car ugly, just don't watch anymore 😂
5.2 ?
Yeah.... That's got me wondering, too. AMC never made a 5.2 litre engine. The 304 was 5.0 litres and the 360 was 5.9.
The cilinder capacity has been increased from 5.0 to 5.2 litres.
5.2? What CID?
317.323469 cubic inches
@@morbinmantas3436 that's not quite right, lol, I don't know of any AMC motors of that displacement, unless it's bored or stroked

5.2 L is 318cu.in. No AMC engines meet that displacement. Your choices are 304ci (5.0L), 360 (5.9) or 401 (6.6).
