1970 AMC Javelin Mark Donohue edition.

The AMC Javelin is a real Pony car!

History
AMC wanted to compete with the Ford Mustang, also a Pony car. In 1969, AMC approached the team of Mark Donohue. Mark Donohue is an American Formula 1 driver who later died in Austria in 1975. AMC was already racing with the Javelin, and competed with the Trans-ams in the early 70s. With Donohue's assistance, they added a large back spoiler inspired by the Camaro. This is how the Javelin Mark Donohue edition was born.

AMC had renewed the Javelin for the 1970 season, making it look more like the AMX. All the characteristics of the improved SST upholstery remained the same, but the grille was black. Visual characteristic that distinguished the basic SST from the Donohue editions were the Ram Air bonnet, side lines, front spoiler and, of course, the one-piece 'ducktail' spoiler mounted on the boot of the car

They build 2501 Mark Donohue's divided in 360 and 390 engine setups. According to factory ads announcing the model, the Mark Donohue signature-edition SST was available with either a 360- or 390-cu.in. engine, each equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, and made 290 and 325 hp, respective

All the SSTs from 1970 got an independent front-wheel suspension system that made use of the upper arms and ball joints.
