AMC Javelin burnout

72 AMC Javelin with a freshly built 401 revs quickly and takes off smoothly.

[@jamesprice2163]

That's a beautiful ride I full heartedly believe that the amx/javelin were two of the most badass muscle cars ever made

[@butchvick660]

Grew up driving these cars, Brother bought a 73 and mom bought new 74. COOL cars

[@porsche558]

The 401 is one of the best sounding engines! I love to hear it idle and scream!

[@SupramanTRD]

such a beauty, didnt know amc made so many cars till recently, my dad showed me one of these years ago and told me to get one in the future, getting a 1974 one this week hopefully

[@donniepeterson6862]

Thumbs up !

[@jakeess7012]

Did you ever get it?

[@Oldcarnut63]

Did you get one ??

[@jimbridges4141]

AAAHHH, music to my ears. What A Beauty She Is.. 👍🏼 NEED A Video Ride. I have owned AMC,(American Motors) Vehicles since I was 2 weeks from becoming 18 years old. For over my lifetime I have built well over 277 American Motors, Engines. Along with plenty of others like Ford, Chevy, Dodge, even couple of War Jeeps with couple of military Semi Trucks etc... Also Enhancing and solving the AMC engine Oiling problems with the V8 AMC engines that I built. . Mild lift camshafts, wild Rebuilds .I met many older guys who also taught me so much about one of the coolest Cars I have built and still Drive. I Still Own 3 of them, A 1974 Hornet straight in line 258- 6 all stock rebuilt, A 1970 Ambassador SST with a 390 V8 with 2 extra engines and three Transmissions for her. Another 1970 Rebel Had a 390, 4 speed and an extra 360 V8 with 727 transmission and couple of the M-12, transmissions from a wrecked ones and Parts for sale here and there. Put a 1972 401 from an unfortunate wreck in the Rebel, bought the whole Javelin on the cheap. Then there's the 25 years of Parts I have collected for each one wrapped and boxed for possible Use later. I have drag raced the Rebel she runs 10s not bad for over stock. These American Motors Cars are sweet and the sounds always gets looks. Oh And My Moms old fashioned car is a 1970 SS Chevelle 4 speed. Which I have the pleasant Ownership now, that mom doesn't drive because the Clutch is hard for her. So THESE PEOPLE that Have All Kinds of VINTAGE CARS and TRUCKS no matter the type/make MORE POWER to them.. BTW, that is a Beautiful Javelin with a nice burn out to enhance the smell of the air for reminding us that rear wheel drive IS STILL KING. 😏 👍🏼

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

I had 72 Chevelle ss 😍 lovem. Were you the one tuning the jav before paint job at garage 🤔

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

Unfortunately sad to see a 401 needing brakes to spin rear tires with standard transmission no less 😠

[@GabrielKish]

Gorgeous body lines. I loved the AMX as well but the Javelin was the sexier of the two.

[@StewartLucrative]

LOVE the car. I want an AMC muscle car now. I love all muscle cars, but everyone has ones from the big 3. I'd love to have something more unique like this.

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

GTO goat 😎

[@BenLivered]

I really like AMC Javelins. I'm watched this video because I saw one in the square earlier today. I live in Devon, england. The person who owned it was american. They were never sold in england so I was amazed Specs Power - 350 bhp Top speed - 140 mph 0-60 mph - 6 seconds Weight - 2 tonnes Engine - 5.3L V8 Year made in - 1971 It sounded gorgeous! The man was coming round to lots of peoples houses and showing it to them because the battery was low. Our car, a Mazda 323f, also rare, has massive batteries. The AMC Javelin comes from America, then it lived in Belfast for 9 years.

[@sikusuyu]

Damn he had it shipped to england huh

[@sfcmarks]

Very nice Javelin

[@318dodgeN350camaro]

nice amc you got there

[@shawnkrause871]

1:08: That angle shot of it is the reason that I love these cars so much.

[@phrodendekia]

One of my favourite cars ever.

[@kendingus6090]

My first car was a 73 AMX with a 401 4 speed, when I was 16. We had the darkest blacktop in front of our house that summer. On an unrelated note, that car was terribly hard on tires, roughly running through a new rear set of Goodyears every 4000 miles.

[@michaeldelio1870]

I had a 73 in glass black with the pierre Cardin interior, and go pac. It took a beating constantly, and was polished constantly. For 4 years I thought I had a strong 401, but I sold it to my friend who was going to trade the motor for a new 401 crate motor, only to find out my 401 was a 304😥 but it was a rare car to have, even in 1984

[@karenskloset898]

Oh i bet your neighbours have some opinions about you with all that noise lol this is one of my favourite old-time muscle cars❣

[@charlessmileyvideo]

Nice to see younger guys going for the AMC style. Very nice car!

[@jamiewilbert1302]

Don’t forget the younger ladies. I have a 69 401

[@strubwerks1]

Plan to update this scene soon. The car now has OEM rally wheels with the rear wheels cut and widened to10 inches so they are tucked under the rear quarters - looks smooth! The rear springs have been replaced so those rat rod shackles are gone, original SST grill is back on the front along with original valance panel but with a custom molded in AMX front spoiler. Rebuilt the entire front suspension and did some engine fine tuning last year. This car is not driven much unfortunately so I am selling my other "fun" car with hopes of getting this on the road more often!

[@clevelandlawson6453]

I was wondering about those shackles. Lol.

[@terrencelee8545]

Miss my 68. Yes awesome cars. Big time

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

Replace front spoiler with OEM. Worth more and is more impressive in a true muscle car. Looking cool robs Value. True muscle car fanatics only look at completely original as fantastic, down to the stereo. ✌️😎✌️ nice paint job for sure. Is it original color 🤔.

[@steffyhobmann5037]

Really nice! Color, aggressive sound ......... everything about it!

[@bigron8346]

Definitely one of my favorite cars!

[@mrceleb2006]

AMC Matador police cars used famously in the 'Adam-12' TV series were also powered by the "big 401"!

[@jeffpittel6926]

Theres always that one family on every street you don't want to live next to

[@chasemiller9315]

His neighbors must love him

[@ericknoblauch9195]

A neighbor had a AMX when I was a kid. I remember you could hear these cars from inside your house. They had the power to spin the tires. When my neighbor was spinning the tires and laying down the rubber the AMX was making a lot of noise. It pissed off another neighbor who came out of her house and said, "You Showoff." Too bad AMC was closed down when Chrysler bought them out. Now that both the Chrysler and Dodge brands are not doing well they could bring back these cars in a modern day form, and revive AMC at Chrysler.

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

​@@ericknoblauch9195wouldn't be the same, not made of metal anymore 🤣. They claim they were making cars safer, compare some 1970's body parts to 2010 🤠 they lied. I ran open headers on my Chevelle, was 400 cam in 350 Vette engine, neighbors complaining of windows shaking and pictures falling off walls 🤣👌

[@TheLightningwrath]

God what a beautiful car

[@vincewilliams5219]

Awesome, love the stance too.

[@jazzpup8288]

My first car was a 71 sst. Hell ya !

[@strubwerks1]

For those asking about the 401 basic build: 1972 "dogleg" heads and block, forged Federal Mogul pistons, Reed valve springs and Cam (105-TM272H-TM276H-110A3), Ford style roller rockers 1.6, Edelbrock Air Gap intake with 770 Holley Street Avenger carb. Exhaust is headers with custom built stainless steel 3 inch dual into Summit Racing brand high flow mufflers. If you can find Hot Rod magazine volume 51 #6 (June 1998), I built this motor based on a AMC 401 article in that issue. Tuning on this car in the video was dialed in during Fall 2016 and is now tight!

[@stinkfinger]

Found your video looking for specs on the Reed cam I have in my Jeep 401... the same grind as yours. Similar build too: Air-gap, 1.6 rollers rockers, forged TRWs, 1971 51cc heads, Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. Your car sounds sweet... just like my Jeep!

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

Was wondering if it was Holly or quadrojet at garage, I couldn't tell with hand in way

[@rangerride4006]

love the color luv the rumble.cars today lack the rumble.very nice.

[@Rickman357]

I love how the Javelin waits for its prey at the end !!😂🤣 Mustang aint gotta a chance...

[@ventureelect]

These were way nicer looking than the mustangs.

[@EugenioHertz]

just watched this video now in 2012... man, if that was/is your car. man, quite a job you did. for some strange reason i just saw some javelin pics and i loved the design. cant go wrong with a car like that. good that you rebuilt and you still burn some tires, unlike some others who just build to clean it up everyday. nice ride man !!!!

[@royalerathcliff5703]

nice 1971 AMC Javelin...1972 Javelins had egg crate front grille and segmented rear wrap around tail lights lens

[@mistersmith3986]

That Mustang drove by with it's tail between it's tires!!!

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

🤣 yes, look like a soccer mom car 🤩

[@ivanlinzmeyer]

Gorgeous AMX Javelin

[@jonniebakstix]

Damn i love those old school slot mags and the rake nice ride

[@KruelAndEvilicious]

that is sweet ... seriously man ... the jav is the sexiest car ever built !!!!

[@strubwerks1]

Exhaust starts with headers then into 3" pipe back to Summit brand Street/Strip racing mufflers then 3 inch up and over axle out the back. The pipe was bent custom by an excellent local shop! Going over the rear axle with that large a pipe was difficult as this Javelin has been equiped with Adco front and rear sway bars. Subframe connectors were also added which makes this car tight! Tranny is a 727 TorqueFlight 3 speed auto with shift kit and custom built torque converter.

[@dillon8987]

wow the paint is amazing

[@HackedbyapacheWriter]

Oddly enough 4 years ago it was just being built, first brake stand. 🤣👊

[@pathbelow6652]

Fantastic muscle car.

[@jeepersdrew2]

i really like the paint job on this 72.. i am currently building a 72 javelin sst myself, with a 401/ 4 speed.. the previous owner put a built chev 350/th350 with a 2500 stall, and that ain't right.. drivin it the way it is for now, but the 401 is almost finished.. i can't wait! ..then next year, it's time for paint... yours is sweet!

[@bigsyteezy]

Im loving the fade to black on the paint. You just gave me an idea for my 72. Yeah im jackin for paint, LOL. the Wheels setup is nice its just an all arpund good job. I got a 360 with the 4 bl carb, dual exhaust posi trak

[@stevewheat9030]

Beautiful car I luv those old school slot mags... 😎👍 lol and shackles too, I had the same setup back in the day... wow... awesome

[@foggyhedgie]

THE PAINT JOB IS MEAN MAN THE EDGING ON THE FRONT GUARDS IS HOT

[@staceywright5744]

What neighbor hood is that? Awesome Javelin. The forgotten pony car.

[@MegaThebest1991]

Looks nice and sounds awesome

[@woodychadick5905]

I miss amc

[@irocitZ]

What kind of a country do we live in where Kia, Hyundai and whatever else is driving around but no AMC, I miss them too.

[@henrynevins]

What 4bbl are you using? I'm an original owner of a '72 AMX w/401. I have the original motocraft carb hanging in my garage. Replacing with rebuilts wasn't the answer, they were in worse ship than my orig carb. Orig was good but wore out. Some day I'll have an expert rebuild it. Have now an Edelbrock carb and car runs well. The Edelbrock is a replica of the Carter AFB used on many of the best rods in the 60's. AMC had as OEM the AFB on the '68-'70 Jav/AMX. Your car's glossy paint job looks great!

[@damxgopak457]

Nice ride.

[@zAvAvAz]

Love that Javelin!

[@hammerhorde]

I miss my 72.

[@wb5577]

THAT CAR LOOKS COOL MAN...

[@robertraft]

my dad had a white javelin with a pea green top, it worked!

[@MegaCokamo]

The guy in the mustang

[@sarachigod]

Made that mustang look like a scooter 😂

[@dcrasta]

Got to love bigblocks.

[@bluebankspublishing9121]

Sweet! My uncle had and orange and gold one. I cranked the volume in my headphones. JfromOH

[@robvoyles]

my god what a thing of beauty....

[@360cormier]

buddy is that little red mustang prob drives around thinkin hes a head turner then just gets showed up by a real engine bahaha fuckin loveeee it

[@paulhunter1735]

Man i love these cars and it sounds and looks fantastic but that was one sad burnout lol.

[@LachlanPhil]

Thats a beautiful car mate

[@JLMEALER2000]

I just inherited (sort of) a 71 "z code" Javelin ie an AMX....401 10.5:1 super T10 4spd... maybe I'll create a KZbin station for my rebuild. Then my burnout.

[@strubwerks1]

This car has 71 tailights. If I remember correctly, the gear ratio is 3.54 - I will have to go look it up! Gotta post new a new video - I changed the front grill and front lower valance panel back to original SST (non-AMX) over the winter. Also changed the wheels and put in new rear springs to eliminate those ugly shackles! Get yours posted!

[@nickdesaint4601]

I prefer the 71 tail light assembly as opposed to my old 73 Javelin. Bought an AMX Hood And Rear spoiler for it too. 😊 back in 81

[@javiervega9842]

QUE MOTOR TAN PODEROSO HERMOSO Y FANTASTICO JAVELIN!!!!!!

[@itsabustout]

what an awesome display of nature! these things are rare.my friend had one in bright yellow. some bitch cut him off and..........well,he doesnt have it anymore.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

Always liked those deep dish mags.......

[@DanFreeman723]

His foot was not on the brake until he dropped his revs. He strictly stomped on it. Just pure torque. Authentic posi burnout here. smh

[@fifthavenuegirl]

LOL. I used to have one my first car lol loved that car.

[@jeffzimmerman8054]

Elizabeth Raffles

[@fifthavenuegirl]

Yes, Jeff Zimmerman?

[@fifthavenuegirl]

And I even changed the spark plugs and distributor cap myself. Mine was the same color but with a white vinyl top. I will have to look for the picture. And I nicknamed it The WolfMobile

[@DavidSmith-qq3fg]

I LOVE ALL AMCS BUT MY FAVORITES ARE THE FIRST GEN JAVELINS AND AMXS BUT I ALSO LOVE THE SECOND GEN VERSIONS

[@irocitZ]

She's real fine my 401, my fourrr-Oooh-1...

[@jamhousestudios5596]

That mustang probably just shit itself when it noticed what was coming up behind it

[@loudbutslow_z2853]

That's the car that I'm hoping to get but with a bit more motor and a bit more paint on it haha love it

[@DozensOfViewers]

awesome!

[@ChevelleSSLS6]

They didn't come with a v6 factory... the straight six is basically a 4.0 Jeep engine. Sounds like an angry garbage truck or farm tractor. The v8, um, like a Harley but "more better".

[@1950miker]

Have a 70 360 dead for now Yours is SHARP

[@pedrobisono747]

love it

[@narc6150]

I need for you to be my next door neighbor. So you can wake my roommate up to go to work. Anyway awesome car.

[@airjoedan]

Swa-heet Javelin, I got a 72 SST 401ci 727 torque flight, look for video soon...this video is awesome!

[@rainmakerii2610]

Ouch!! Ya hit the curb.

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

Nice af!

[@strubwerks1]

@ClemensB1982 This has a stock optional "Twin-Grip" rear end which is not a true "posi" type unit but does work well. I do know these have a clutch type set up in them. I did notice improvement when I changed the fluid out years ago (special additive is required). I believe the Twin-Grip was an option on Javelin/AMX and standard with the AMX "Go-Pack" which is probably what your car is with the 401? Maybe check the numbers on your differential or tag and make sure it is a Twin Grip type.

[@donaldsink8115]

I had a 1970 Rebal Machine and if I remember correctly it had a limited slip rear end. Bought new price around $3500. I was 18-19 at the time. Didn't realize what I had until it was too late. Would have loved to have worked on the engine in it. Stock had the highest HP AMC ever produced at 340 HP. With the technical experts today no telling just how much it could produce. It had a one year only intake and heads. I'm afraid they're so far out of my affordability today. Guarantee you if you show up at a car show you'll be the only one there. Last time I looked there's only around 500 registered as drivable on the national register. I can only dream about what once was. I'm hoping that in the not to distant future I can find a 70 AMX.

[@cbpitt01]

@ 0:27 Hey! There’s a curb there!

[@javelin1010]

I have a 71 sst painted plum crazy purple.

[@x100al]

Lets scrape that front spoiler again!

[@flyman1185]

Very cool. Tell us more about that car.

[@ROWB0AT]

@uricarranza You're looking for a T-10 4 speed. Somewhat hard to come by, but just keep your eye out on your local craigslist.

[@strubwerks1]

@Zerginfantry No it is not a factory color, it is wild cherry.

[@syleriam]

Loving the sound...Oh Yeah. A car from the good times for Car Industry now i don't like any car from today. I want another Javelin cause the one we got belongs to my husband or a Chevy BelAir from 56 but here in Latinoamerica is kind of expensive to buy one, now the mustang in the video look so lame i'm mean where is the bad boy appearance, You Guys are agree with me?

[@detroit8888473]

I love what you have done to it. If you ever want to sell it, let me know.

[@ThaRealGecko]

Ok, i made my decision... my next car will be a... VAM Javelin.... oooohhh yah !!

[@darktimber117]

never been a big fan of the rear quarter on them, but other than that is a nice looking car. what do you have for a cam in that thing, she idles a bit rough

[@Celticcanadian69]

Very nice !

[@thezofamilychannel7204]

What Year? My Dad had an AMC he was heartbroken when he had to sell it.

[@osamagestapo1747]

Yea wow

[@uhfnutbar1]

i have own all 6 V8 made by AMC and never had truble lighting up the tire`s with a 360 or 401 with out using the brakes! i dont understand why people think that cool to use the brack or maybe there just not doing it right :)

[@katyushareznov8648]

What's the name of the color it's painted in?

[@joseparedes17]

[@ebsell]

I want that car so bad lol

[@mattstephenson8450]

Hit the curb , check ball joints

[@funkeytoad08]

Great looking Javelin! This is a 73 trans-am winner edition? I noticed the decal behind the front wheels. I once owned one with the same decal.

[@dieselcowboy777]

Is that color brandy wine? What is the color code?
