1970 AMC Javelin SST Mark Donohue Tribute

Description

Sleek, detailed, and absolutely cool - this 1970 AMC Javelin SST Mark Donohue Tribute knows how to make a great first impression. But as the high-performance name suggests, you are going to be even more impressed with the solid driver feeling of this coupe.

This car was restored around 2000, and it has been treated with quality respect ever since. So it gives you the look of an impressive car that you'll also love to drive. And the reason why it's so striking is that the Mark Donohue cars knew how to deliver speedy style. The two-tone side stripes show off the flared fenders and the C-shape at the front looks like it's trying to hook you in. Plus, the race-inspired rear spoiler has a proper Mark Donohue signature decal. And there are also the hood scoops, wide chin spoiler, dual exhaust tips, and upgraded competition-style blackout mag wheels. It makes for a coordinated and striking package that makes this attractive even before you think about rarity. There were only 2,501 Mark Donohue Javelins produced, but even a tribute is quite special. AMC gave the Javelin a facelift in 1970 that is exclusive to this model year. That makes the standard SST pretty darn rare. Only about 19,700 were produced, which was about one-fifteenth of Chevy Malibu hardtop from the same year.

The two-tone stripes on the outside set the tone for the inside. So while any power car with a black interior is attractive, the red piping on the upholstery makes this Javelin look like it's out for blood. Front bucket seats, the classic sports steering wheel, and a center console with performance Shift Command shifter make for a great vintage power package. And they even added an AutoMeter tach to the steering column. More than just sporty, you also have the right vintage touches you want on a classic. There's wood paneling on the dash, Javelin floor mats, and the dome lights greet you when the door opens.

The Mark Donohue cars were all about getting the best Javelin into SCCA Trans Am racing. So when it comes to this tribute, performance is also at its heart. It starts with a 401 cubic-inch V8, which is larger than what was on the racetrack or even in the factory '71 cars. It's also built with a roller cam, roller rockers, and topped with a four-barrel carburetor. And this mighty V8 makes a terrific tune out of the X-pipe dual exhaust. A thick front sway bar, newer front bushings, and a limited-slip rear end are all about having a confident driver. Plus, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed automatic transmission are all about having a solid cruiser.

The sale comes complete with useful spare components, including tail lights and belts. It's all about showing you that cool and rare Mark Donohue tribute Javelin is made to be enjoyed to the fullest. Call today!!!
