Speaking of rare AMC muscle, Rebel Machine, remember these?

I only saw one, at the old Marcus Dairy cruise night in Danbury, CT many years ago. And I've yet to see an actual Mark Donohue Javelin.

In 1974, Bobby Allison drove a Javelin in NASCAR....

I’ve never seen a Mark Donohue Javelin, but thanks to having attended many vintage auto races I have seen a Javelin that Mark Donohue drove in the Trans Am series. And for that matter, last year at the Porsche Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca one of the cars in attendance was the 917/30 he drove in Can-Am.

I sold AMCs in the 70s. Saw or knew of many of them.

Saw a few AMX’s when I was a kid here in Brewster. They were rare even when they were in production.

Saw an old Hornet SC360 about 8 years ago, but it was a mess.

I had a Hornet with a 304 in the early 80’s. Blue with a white “Starsky and Hutch” stripe on it.

Man that thing flew. Friend had a Jeep CJ (AMC) with a 401 in it. Very dangerous vehicle. (grin)
