02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionbuilt | 2,5011 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Penske Racing took over the Javelin Trans-Am programme in 1970 and Mark Donohue drove for it. Iconic Auctioneers states that Donohue's results led to a limited production run of Javelins wearing his autograph in 1970. Sources differ on the racing result: conceptcarz says the team was second in the over-2-litre class at the end of 1970, while Iconic says the Javelin won the 1970 and 1971 series.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
RM Sotheby's describes a Donohue Edition with a 1969-style AMC hood and an aftermarket tachometer; cars of this edition carry his autograph. Many Penske-livery cars are replicas, and an Iconic lot of a Donohue-style Javelin in Sunoco livery is a replica built on a 1969 car.
