MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1971 AMC Javelin AMX Collector Guide
This Javelin does not sit politely at stock height. Its raised stance, exposed engine and oversized rear tires give it a street-freak look, whether you choose the root-beer car with intricate stripes or the red-white-blue edition.

What to look for
HMY23 is the 2024 root-beer release with Grandma’s Kitchen decoration. JJY58 is the 2026 red, white and blue car. The paint and side treatment change substantially, while the high-riding custom shape ties the two together.

Choosing one for your collection
Look underneath as well as across the roof. The exposed running gear is part of the display, and a bent axle is especially noticeable on a model that stands this high.
Check the engine detail and rear tire edges for damage. On the root-beer version, the narrow multicolor stripes need sharper photographs than the broad body panels.
Collector questions
Is the high stance a damaged suspension?
The raised street-freak stance is intentional. Compare left and right wheel alignment to distinguish the design from actual axle damage.
