The Ringbrothers 1972 AMC Javelin AMX Is a 1,036-HP Blast From the Delirious Past

That AMC also happens to be a secret favorite of brothers and car customizers extraordinaire Mike and Jim Ring, so when Prestone approached the pair to build a special car to celebrate the antifreeze company's 90th anniversary, they immediately decided to use the opportunity to give a 1972 Javelin AMX the makeover of a lifetime. They moved the front axle six inches forward to balance out the stock car's notorious overbite, then fabricated new panels out of carbon fiber to make it look factory-spec. There are innumerable custom-machined trim bits, a new interior...and best of all, a supercharged Hellcat engine and rebuilt drivetrain good for 1,036 horsepower—or upwards of 1,500 horsepower on high boost.

So at least this AMC Javelin AMX has been transformed into a beautiful swan. (A beautiful, angry, vengeful swan.) Check out the video up top to see what it's like to climb behind the wheel and drop a bomb with your right foot—or read our full writeup for more on this monster.
