That's Mark Donohue's AMC Javelin.

I love the look of the early Trans Am's! And yours is definitely a winner!

Yeah, Minilites rock. If they would clear the brakes on my Miata, I would have a 15x8 set on it now.

I bet that car makes a great noise.

It's a 468 ci (454) big block. Will have to do for now. How many points do we lose for that?

I like the Goodyears. I went to them after this happened.

Well I guess in reality it should have a short stroke 400 ci (303c.i.) because of course it was a 5 liter series. This spawned the 302 Z28 and 302 Mustang. But we haven't got a 303 for this car YET. We'll see.

Are those Halibrands?? Nice!

[onewhippedpuppy]

Great looking T/A! I wasn't aware that Konig made a Minilite style wheel, I'll have to look into those for my Mustang. Vintage Wheel works has a 16x8 in a similar style that I have been considering, except mine will be shod in modern rubber.

Edit - Konig Rewind is 4 lug only. Damn.

[Mrmerlin]

Great looking TA I would be happy to drive it for you.
When you make a Mark D Camaro will it also be dipped in acid to make the light weight panels?

[71scgc]

Pontiac engine very expensive to build, like double a BBC.

Doubt it! But that's a great story, Penske had it so light the roof flexed so they had to hide it with a vinyl roof. "We just like the look of vinyl" he is said to have said when asked why the vinyl.

So the BFG is a good tire, but not a great tire.

None if you put those groovy Super Duty heads on it.

Just in the pic. I kept the Minis.

Awesome wheel and tire combo. I love these cars, especially on the track.

I sold my 911 to build a Trans Am style 66 Barracuda, my new wheels arrived too..

[yellowperil]

Great looking Barracuda, and nice wheels too, and the right color. Tell us more about this car, more pics if you got 'em.
