Jim Jeffords, former Milwaukee-area racer (SCCA B Prod Champion 1958 and 59 in the Purple People Eater Vette) and manager of AMC’s 1968 Javelin Trans Am campaign, partnered with designer Brooks Stevens, also of Milwaukee, to design the custom AMX-R featuring a Ramble Seat.

Jeffords’ accomplishments are all the more impressive when considering the drivers he competed against. Dan Gurney, Sterling Moss, Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Bob Bondurant, Roger Penske, Ken Miles, and more were all at the top of their game when Jeffords beat them on track.

nice crusty ol Ford!  Just sitting here in the finals means that there is a lot going on that isn't obvious to a view on the surface

from the 1968 movie set of Paint Your Wagon in Baker Oregon from a family photo album

How cool to see they drove their Rebel onto the set area for a photo!

Sunoco allowed a car club at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio to display the Javelin show car. Except for the engine, it was 100% race ready.

Here's a weird special version of the AMC Hornet, this is a 1972 Green Hornet.

Offered only on the two door model, and offered exclusively in Canada, it was their attempt to cash in on the popular Green Hornet hero. They painted the coupe green, gave it a Baja grain vinyl roof, standard sport wheel covers, and whitewall tires. 

The 232 inline six was standard, while you could also option it with 258 six, or 304 V8, plus bucket seats, and body stripes. Only 300 were made.
