1972 AMC Javelin

To consolidate the product offering, reduce production costs and offer more value to consumers, the 1972 AMC Javelins were equipped with more standard features and the base model was discontinued. Engine power ratings were downgraded to the more accurate SAE net horsepower figures. Automatic transmissions were now the TorqueFlite units sourced from Chrysler, called Torque Command by AMC. The Pierre Cardin option, with an interior of pleated red, plum, white and silver stripes on a black background, had an official on sale date of 1 March 1972.
