The 1971 AMC Javelin marked the dramatic beginning of American Motors Corporation's second-generation pony car design. Completely restyled by design chief Dick Teague, the '71 model introduced a wider, lower stance highlighted by its signature bulging "humped" front fenders—modeled after Corvette racing styles of the era—and an integrated roof spoiler.
As a true standout in the golden age of American muscle, the 1971 Javelin completely separated itself from the crowd with a futuristic dashboard that wrapped tightly around the driver like a cockpit. Whether you are looking at it as a restomod candidate, a piece of muscle car history, or sourcing vintage components, the 1971 AMC Javelin remains one of the boldest styling achievements of the 1970s.
