1970 AMC Javelin Mark Donohue Description:

1970 Javelin SST 360 Mark Donohue Edition

First

Yes, it is a true Big Bad Blue Javelin

Yes, it is the 360 Ram Air Javelin

No, I cannot prove to anyone that it is truly a Mark Donohue Javelin but I believe it to be.

Body

The body on this car is in nice shape, mind you this is a driver car and not a 100 point restoration. The paint shines well, it has imperfections here and there but nothing major for being painted many years ago. (Some paint chips mopped in,and some cracks in clear coat)The chrome seems to all been polished or replaced with new or refurbished. Nice shape overall. 73,000 miles on the car are thought to be actual and is stated on title as actual.

Interior

The interior was all redone using Legendary interior products in the original black color as it came from the factory, new seat covers, the fiberglass headliner is up but it needs a new fabric cover, (Simply having the headliner is 99% of the battle) the carpet looks original and the dash pad seems to be in nice original condition as well. It has the rare factory rim blow steering wheel but it is not working presently, there are vendors that restore these steering wheels to like new condition on the internet.

Engine & Mechanicals

The car runs and drives very well (Again, it’s a driver) it has a new master cylinder, disc brakes (Bendix) were rebuilt recently, factory 4 barrel carb was rebuilt recently as well. It has its quirks like all nearly 50 year old cars do but nothing major that I know. There is no leaks that I have noticed, I have no info on the motor or trans (If they have been rebuilt or not?) but they both work fine, just took it on a 50 mile ride this past weekend.

It has posi-traction rearbut I do not know the ratio.

The "P" in the vin denotes 360 4 barrel which is what this car has.

Quirks

Carb was just rebuilt but idles high.

Brakes were all recently just done but it still does not stop as well as I think it should.

Carb and brake issue is most likely simply a vacuum problem but I refuse to take it back to mechanic that did the work.

Taillights do not seem to work properly "at times" (Hate to say it but this Javelin has Gremlins when it comes to the taillights) I would think it is an easy fix.

Overall

I am a honest guy, this would be a great car to buy, drive and restore while enjoying it or if you simply want a car to mess around and go to car shows now this could fit your needs too. Again, this is a driver... Not a 100 point restored vehicle so please do not expect it to be that. I recommend anyone buying any car to look at it or hire someone to look at it in person and I will try to work with anyone to make this happen.

I have attached as many pictures as Ebay allows but if you need to see anything please let me know and I will shoot more photos.
