"(Care to enlighten us "less informed" AMC fans? TY)"

Sure, I'd love to enlighten everyone about this car. It's my favorite
by a long shot of all the Trans AM entries, current day included, and let
me tell you I have seen some of the best groundpounders around in Trans Am.
When those cars race at Road America they make your blood boil. So do
Formula
Atlantics.............anyway,
Oh yeah where was I,  the url's below are about #6, Mark Donohue's 1970
Javelin
Trans Am race car as prepared by Roger Penske racing. It was the first year
for
Donohue and Penske to team up with AMC and by golly they nearly succeeded in
handing
the off brands their arse in a handbasket, the first year they worked
together!!!!!!! Donohue
came so close to showing the big three what real race cars can do that the
very next year all
the chicken s**t off brands took their factory support away because they
feared a total
dominance by Donohue Penske and AMC and they could claim no participation as
the reason
AMC was so dominant. What Horse Hockey!!!!  They were cringing in fear of
tiny little AMC,
and wanted to diffuse themselves from losing face. OH golly I got way off
again.
Anyway the url's have some great shots of the car in it's pristine resto
condition, the bottom
one is my favorite shot of the car. I think Mr. Brooke Mossgrove either
restored the car or
currently owns it and had some one else restore it, I'm not sure.
Thanks To John Rosa for the website.

Wouldn't an article in Car Craft about the restoration of the beginning of
AMC factory racing
be some great use of ink and paper!!!!!!
