The 2018 Review: Our Top 10 Restomods Of The Year

Ringbrothers’ 1972 AMC Javelin AMX

I didn’t intend to include two cars by one manufacturer on this list, but Ringbrothers’ AMC Javelin is worth mentioning. For a start, it’s one of my favorite muscle cars of all-time, and ridiculously underappreciated in general. This project aims to right that wrong. Named Defiant, this car has also had the 707 horsepower Hellcat engine installed, but god knows that’s not enough for Ringbrothers. A huge 4.5 liter Whipple blower was installed, maxing out horsepower at 1036. As I said back in January, once again an AMC can make Italian supercars quake in their finely-cobbled boots.

The car’s exterior is almost the definition of sleek. The wheelarches have been moved forward a few inches and replaced with carbon fiber parts. Other new parts include the hood, front fenders, grille, and front valance. Other parts, including the tail lights, have been fabricated from aluminum. The suspension is a Hydro system, as set up for a Camaro, by Detroit Speed. The interior is a wonderful mix of old and new. The gauges and instruments are classic, but a Kicker Sound System, custom seats, and Vintage Air give it a touch of modernity. This is one javelin that can absolutely fly.
