    Re: Now THIS is Rare

    Didn't Mark Donohue drive one of these in NASCAR for Roger Penske back in 1971?

      A very nice car!


      Watch those SS arms/bars.

      Notorious for frequently elongating the bolt-holes

      & even ripping the brackets off on some cars. :o


      How much did you have to cut up

      the factory floor tranny tunnel

      for the new shifter?

          I had to trim the trans tunnel back towards the arm rest about 3/4 of an inch...the factory plastic "Hump" would still cover the hole...as for the Southside Bars we mounted on the 9 inch all the bracketry was fully welded and the control arm mounts are also fully welded...so I am hopin nothing ever gets hurt there...the front mounts of course are still factory on the frame so I think they would be weaker then the rear ones...hopefully my puny : 4500 RPM launches won't break anything out back

            Hey Monk, How do you know Pat? I know this is off subject but I was curious. I've known him since the early 80's. Small world....

              I know this is really off subject, but you guys are such hard core AMC lovers, only you might be able to tell me this. When I was 9 I got a gig testing a game for AMC. It was used to promote the Javelin. They also used the shots for artists to do the advertisement. I wanted to keep the game when we got done playing with it, but it was a prototype and they needed it. Does anyone know if there are any of these out there? Or maybe a copy of the add.

                  I don't know if it ever came out. We were involved in a few experimental projects for the big three and were trying to find some examples. I never seen it on ebay.

                    The Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags is cool place to see some rare cars. This picture features two rare cars and a very rare car.

                        He didn't run the car. I wanted to see it run, maybe in 2008. I'll have to post my AMC file one of these days. I've got a few nice shots of some sweet AMCs.

                              Rob, You couldn't have given that a better response...

                              Mike, I don't believe that game ever made it to production. To the best of my knowledge the only game available from AMC was the Javelin Trans-AM set...

                                I thought this was the Javelin Trans Am game. It might have been an early prototype. I tested a slot car set also. I wish I could find more info somewhere.
