The AMC Javelin is a pony car that was built by the American Motors Corporation between 1967 and 1974 in two generations, model years 1968 to 1970 (with a separate design in 1970) and 1971 to 1974. The sporty Javelins came only as two-door hardtop (with no "B" pillar) body style, and were available in economical versions or as high-performance muscle cars.
Javelins won the Trans-Am race series with AMC sponsorship in 1971, 1972 and 1973, and independently in 1975.
The second-generation AMX version was the first pony car to be used as a normal highway patrol police car by any U.S. organization.
In addition to manufacture in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, Venezuela, and Australia. They were also sold in other international markets.
