AMC Javelin SST
Besides drag racing, AMC realized that most muscle car buyers are into road racing championships, especially the legendary Trans Am series. So, in the late ’60s, the company started sponsoring Mark Donahue, a famous racer, and his team. Also, AMC presented the Javelin SST, a top-of-the-line model that featured more power, a better handling package, and exterior details. The 360 and 390 V8 engines were the only choice with a 325 HP rating. Also, SST models had hood scoops, side pipes, and rear spoilers, which was a big deal in 1969/70.
