High Bid: $ 11,000

This 1971 AMC Javelin SST is a second-generation example that we acquired in June of 2020. The previous owner of this vehicle reportedly purchased it from the daughter of its original owner. The car is finished in white with black vinyl roof inserts over a blue interior, and power is from a 304ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes power steering, a front sway bar, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. A carburetor rebuild and oil change have been carried out along with installation of an aluminum radiator, fresh brakes, and a new battery. This Javelin SST is offered with recent records and a clean California title. The body was refinished in its original Snow White in the mid-2000s following repair of a dent in the driver-side quarter panel. Exterior features include a twin canopy- style roof with black vinyl inserts, a roof lip spoiler, dual black side stripes, and SST badging. Factory 14 inch steel wheels are fitted with full covers and KM Radial 40 whitewall tires. The previous owner stated that the brake shoes, master cylinder, horn, and emergency brake cable have been replaced. The interior features high-back front bucket seats upholstered in pleated blue vinyl with matching door panels and carpets, while the instrument panel and door inserts are trimmed with woodgrain appliqués. A Sparkomatic AM/FM/cassette stereo occupies the factory radio position. A factory deep-dish steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a combination fuel level/coolant temperature gauge. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 1,600 miles but most likely has exceeded the mechanical limits of the odometer. The tall-deck 304ci V8 is equipped with a two-barrel carburetor with an electric choke and was rated at 210 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission.
