The AMC Javelin is a front-engine, rear wheel drive, two-door hardtop manufactured and marketed by AMC in two generations, 1968-1970 and 1971-1974. Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin was available in a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car to muscle car variants. In addition manufacture in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, Venezuela, as well as Australia -and were marketed globally.

The 1970 Javelins featured a new front end design with a wide "twin-venturi" front grille incorporating the headlamps and a longer hood. It also had a new rear end with full-width taillamps and a single center mounted backup light. This was a one-year only design. Side marker lights were now shared with several other AMC models. The exterior rear view mirror featured a new "aero" design and in some cases matched the car's body color. The three "Big Bad" exterior paints continued to be optional on the 1970 Javelins, but they now came with regular chrome bumpers. Underneath the restyle was a new front suspension featuring ball joints, upper and lower control arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers above the upper control arms, as well as trailing struts on the lower control arms.

Too cool for school! After over a week of cars that, frankly, really didn't mean anything to me we get this one that strikes several chords with me. It's in great shape for it's age but wears it's battle scars with pride. It's a product of a 1:1 manufacturer that's no longer with us (you know I like my "Orphan" makes, right?). I have a friend over on the other diecast forum that loves these things so much that "1970AMX" is his screen name!

(I just looked - he's on here too)

YThis one here is my favorite pla art between the fact it's a AMC, the condition, the older wheels etc.

Sorry about the blurry pics I almost forgot to take pictures for today and I got home at 10:00 so I couldn't take them outside

:toy: I would know those wheels anywhere. :lol: I really like the old Playart models - especially the ones that have these wheels. I always thought it was neat that Playart did a couple of AMC cars in their lineup.
