35 Muscle Cars To Bring Back (And 10 To Forget About)

1974 AMC Javelin

It’s too bad the American Motor Corporation ultimately ended up folding as the 1974 AMC Javelin is a perfect example of the company’s strengths in regards to both performance and design. The AMC Javelin was a pretty pony car, with unique, stylish ridges above the wheel wells. The Javelin AMX, in particular, was a respectable muscle car, and while the AMX tag would be attached to other models, none quite conjured up the magic of the Javelin AMX. The Javelin AMX could hit 60 in about 7.6 seconds, a respectable number for such a large car in the 1970s.
