The Trans-Am AMC That Didn’t Race SCCA

Some cars are rare people few people ordered them. In the case of the 1970 AMC Trans-Am Javelin, it was rare because AMC built it that way—only 100 were distributed to 2300 dealerships. All were painted red/white/blue with 390 four-speed, Go Package with 3.91 gears, adjustable spoiler, gauge package, five-spoke mags, nifty two-spoke steering wheel, and more.

Yet you could be forgiven to think this was AMC’s Trans-Am homologation special, as that was reserved for the Mark Donohue Javelin. Why confuse enthusiasts decades later? That would be too easy.

The Trans-Am Javelin was created as a publicity vehicle to highlight AMC’s participation in SCCA racing. It was a halo car to get people talking—compare that to the Donohue Javelin, which was basically a regular Javelin SST (some believe base Javelins may have also received the Donohue treatment) with a fancy rear spoiler (different from the Trans-Am’s) and hi-po engines.

Noted Pontiac author Don Keefe from the Iron Stable Garage brought Muscle Car Campy this Trans-Am Javelin on loan from a customer. They took the ram-air pony car around the streets of Tampa while extolling the unique updates AMC made to the Javelin for 1970.
