A single colour, Minilite shod, Pro Touring replica of that needs to be built, around a '71 model.
Javelins are massively underrated muscle cars in my opinion.

They are very aggressive looking muscle cars. Weren't their engines comparitively tame compared to Chevy/Ford/Mopar?

Still got my Matchbox AMC Javelin from donkey's years ago, always liked those cars. The curved bits on the front fenders are simply awesome - think it was AMC's attempt to copy the Corvette Stingray a bit  |

They didn't get quite the capacity on them for the street versions but they wrung proper power out of their homologation engines which were limited to 5 litres anyway. AMC whupped plenty of Ford, Chevy and Mopar ass in proper open road type racing. Banked oval, not so much, but in proper twisties they did well. They had some good drag machinery too. Again look for the classes with the "smaller" displacement. AMC stuff is all unibody so its pretty light, its fairly rigid and decently tunable. They just never had the marketing behind them that the big 3 did. |

Javelins are massively underrated muscle cars in my opinion. They are very aggressive looking muscle cars. Agreed - the front end stance, and exaggerated haunches over the front wheel arches combined with the low, jutting headlight & grille panel is very cool. Not sure that factory stance was quite as good as this though, due to a higher ride height being needed for Federal headlamp height regs. |

I was hoping an answer to this would come up in the comments without me having to ask but... what are those sticky-out bits on the A pillars? They look like they might be air ducts but I can't make sense of them beyond that guess, nor why air ducts would be put there.

That is hella badass!
You can see from that where the Boso race inspired replicas get the styling from, obviously the splitters and arches are exaggerated, but you can totally see the link.

Given racing heritage, i'm *guessing* cold air feed for helmets, or if not helmets just a cool air duct for the driver? |
