AMC Javelin

About

The underdog that stopped being an underdog. Penske and Donohue turned AMC’s big, long-nosed Javelin into a weapon, powered by a 5-litre-class AMC V8 and good enough to take the 1971 manufacturers’ championship. Wide and loud, it proved you didn’t need a million-dollar budget or a Ford or Chevrolet badge to win the pony-car wars.
