1972 AMC Javelin AMX Concours Restoration Guide

The 1972 AMC Javelin carried forward the second-generation body with minor refinements. Like all 1972 American cars, AMC switched from gross to net SAE horsepower ratings — the 401 dropped from 330 gross hp to 255 net hp, though the engine was essentially unchanged. The distinctive Pierre Cardin designer interior option debuted in 1972, offering an unusual combination of swirling multicolor patterns unique to AMC.
