The AMX started out as a stand-alone, two-seater offering in the AMC lineup when it was introduced as a 1968 model, but by 1971 had become a more high-performance version of the second-generation Javelin.  For those desiring some over-the-top styling, an interior by fashion designer Pierre Cardin became available as an option on the 1972-73 models, with this 1973 AMC Javelin AMX here on eBay sporting these cool colors inside.  This one’s located in Racine, Wisconsin, with bidding up to $9,600 at the time of this writing.

For less than one hundred additional dollars, buyers could add the Pierre Cardin package and receive stripes that were all but guaranteed to result in questions every time a passenger stepped inside.  With only a little over 4,000 Javelins with the PC option produced during the two years this interior was available, it’s kind of a rarity nowadays and scores lots of points on the fun-factor scale.  The six-color material went from the seats, up the doors, and finally ended on the headliner.  The inside condition here isn’t perfect, but still seems quite decent considering more than 50 years have now passed since this one was new.

A tobacco barn was home to this AMC for quite some time, with the seller providing us a couple of photos showing us the as-found appearance.  Fortunately, the car seems pretty much complete, and though the body could use a good massage, the only exterior rust mentioned is a few areas in the quarters.  The seller has you covered there, as he’s providing brand-new metal to cut and patch these sections.  Interestingly, the only hint AMC gave outside that these cars had a special interior was the Cardin emblem on the front fenders.

The “P” in the VIN indicates this one came equipped with a 360 engine plus a 4-barrel, which the seller says is running great.  A video provided shows the motor in action, which starts quickly, idles well and still sounds healthy.  The mileage is listed at 88,000, and while it’s not confirmed that this is actual, this engine just may have some decent life left.  There’s no information given about the transmission, other than it’s automatic.

Underneath, the platform is stated to be about 95% rust-free, with one small part of the rear floor being an exception.  Standing water was the culprit here, but a piece to replace this area will be included in the sale.  The seller believes this one will be an easy projector or can also be driven as it is now, but if the latter is chosen, I’d invest in a new set of tires on day one before getting behind the wheel.  Even without the colorful interior, this seems like it would be a promising AMC to own, but with the cool fabric, I feel the desirability here goes up a couple of notches.  What are your thoughts on this 1973 Pierre Cardin Javelin AMX?
