The 1972 AMC Javelin, reimagined by the automotive virtuosos at Ringbrothers, is nothing short of a modern-day masterpiece. This automotive icon underwent a radical transformation, becoming a high-performance marvel that pays homage to its roots while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
Revved up with a Hellcat engine, the 1972 AMC Javelin AMX roars to life, pushing beyond its limits with a gutsy transplant. The stock 6.2-liter supercharged V-8’s 707 horsepower just didn’t cut it for Ringbrothers. In a power play, they ditched the original supercharger in favor of a 4.5-liter Whipple unit, unleashing a thunderous 1,100 horses under the hood.
Beyond the brute force, this bad boy boasts a custom 4-link rear suspension, a 12-bolt axle, side exhaust exits that scream power, and a modern braking system to rein in all that horsepower. A sprint to the finish, the entire build took a mere 12 months, a testament to Ringbrothers’ speed demons. Breaking new ground, 3D scanning and printing joined the pit crew for the first time, turbocharging the development of plugs and molds. This is not just a car; it’s a lightning bolt on wheels, a symphony of power and precision orchestrated in the name of speed.
Prestone, the masters of antifreeze, threw down the gauntlet, commissioning this beast to mark their 90th anniversary. The result? A blazing yellow exterior, christened Jalop Gold by Ringbrothers, and a body predominantly crafted from lightweight carbon fiber – the hood, front fenders, grille, and front valance all infused with the high-tech material.
