Ooops! I stand corrected, the early seventies AAR Barracuda's were deep blue and not black as I previously mentioned (they always seemed black) lovely and menacing all the same. There are some pics at www.historictransam.comJohn |

Yes indeed, the AMC Jav's were an interesting addtion to the Pony Car Wars. Prepared by Penske Racing and driven by the great Mark Donohue they were a very competitive package. Penske got invloved with AMC for a while and as well as the Javelin's in Trans-Am they campaigned the Matador in the NASCAR Winston Cup with Bobby Allison driving. AMC made some interesting cars and some downright bizarre ones, anyone remember the Pacer? Every once in a blue moon you'll still see one out on the road. Swear to God, its wheelbase must be the same as its track.

The Pacer. Yes, a very strange car. Aimed at the housewife as far as I know with one door being longer than that on the other side to aid access to the rear seat. Also immortalised in Waynes World.  Truly a crock of sh*t, but not as bad as the Pontiac Aztek  |

Bit of an anorak fact I admit, but the car they crash into the roadblock at the end of the film is actually a white Camaro not the Challenger....

Probably because there was far more of them lying around at the time (trailer trash cars?)  |
