Certain cars face hurdles without documentation—why spend mucho dinero without proof of provenance? Our AutoHunter Spotlight doesn’t have this problem as it comes with documentation that verifies its pedigree. Note the build sheet of this 1970 AMC Javelin SST Mark Donohue Edition, which shows a 4 in the ASC (Automatic Speed Control) box—that confirms this car to be an honest-to-goodness Mark Donohue Edition, one of approximately 2,501 built. Aside from the homologation rear spoiler, Donohues also came either with a 360 plus Go Package or 390 plus Go Package—this one is powered by the latter and is backed by a four-speed. Other features include ram-air induction, five-spoke mags, and more. Painted red with matching corduroy cloth and vinyl interior, this Trans-Am homologation special is offered by the selling dealer with the aforementioned build sheet, restoration receipts, original carburetor and speedometer, car cover, and clear title.
The Matador Red hue is complemented by a white pinstripe. Other features include chrome rocker moldings, ram-air hood (which was part of the Go Package), Mark Donohue rear spoiler, chrome driver-side mirror, and chrome exhaust tips. A set of 14-inch five-spoke mags is wrapped in E70 Goodyear radials.
The interior is furnished in red, with the front buckets and rear bench featuring corduroy cloth and vinyl. Between the buckets you’ll find a “buddy seat” with armrest. Other interior features include woodgrain trim, special steering wheel, power steering, floor-mounted Hurst shifter, and AM radio with 8-track tape player.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer (the original was 140) with gauges for the temperature and fuel. Additional aftermarket gauges are integrated into the center portion of the instrument panel and feature readouts for oil, amps, and temperature. There also is a clock to the left of the speedometer. The odometer currently reads 38,634 miles, though the title says this vehicle is mileage-exempt.
The 325-horsepower 390 features a four-barrel carburetor and has an open air cleaner tray to mount to the hood plenum. The engine is paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The undercarriage features a rear-end with 3.91 gears and Twin-Grip differential. Other features include front power disc brakes and a dual exhaust system.
Javelins this nice are not the most common cars out there, and documented Mark Donohue Edition 1970 AMC Javelin SSTs are much rarer than that. With the nifty corduroy interior, four-speed, ram air 390, 3.91 gears, and Mark Donohue spoiler, this Javelin has the right mix of options to hype its desirability. So, what’s next? You bidding on it, of course! So you don’t let this one slip by, you should bid before Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (PDT).
