The story of this AMC Javelin begins at the end of the 1969 Trans Am season. Mark Donohue had just won the 1969 T/A Championship in Roger Penske’s Sunoco Camaro. Following a victory at the T/A race at Riverside Raceway, in southern California, Roger Penske and Mark Donohue met with representatives of American Motors Corporation (AMC).

The #1 Javelin is now in California and participates in events with the other two Penske Javelins in the Historic Trans Am group. See complete History (2mb PDF).
