Now all you need to make it really Perfect is a set of Decals for the '69 24 hours at Daytona Winning Car. The Sunoco car driven by Donohue and Parsons.

Although you wouldn't have found Bridgestones on that era Race Cars the Racing tires were treaded.

Which Car are you planning to Build? The TransAm ended in '72.

A while back I got an email from the guy I bought my '71 Donohue Javelin from saying he found MORE spare parts for the kit I bought and he's sending them Parcel Post. Those were the longest 10 days in a long time. I've got to admit the '71 was one of the best buys I've ever had!

Would ya like to Double your Money?

What's most Funny about this Car is it was a Martini Car and the Martini folks thought the paint was so ugly they refused to have their name on it!

F/S - Factory Sealed OOP - Out of Production S/I - Sealed Inside MFH - Model Factory Hiro Promo - Promotional Kit that one used to get from 1:1 Dealers of current production vehicles #11- Most commonly used X-Acto blade

That's what I ment by filtering too tightly. I do my 'bay checks using "Toys & Hobbies > Models & Kits" because I get all the subgroups by not being too specific. Those folks may be looking under one of the many sub groups. Or They're just Nuts

I think it's a REALLY nice Model.

Now don't for one second think I've got a problem with something selling for every penney it can get, ok. But there's a Kit that ends tuesday that's at $577 as I write this. And it's been started. http://www.ebay.com/itm/vtg-JOHAN-MARK-DONOHUE-1969-1970-trans-am-AMC-JAVELIN-1-25-MODEL-scca-NEW-COND-/110799926868?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19cc30b654#ht_1339wt_1398 What I find most curious is there has been a F/S kit with a buy it now price of $250 up for several days now. What I'm wondering is why hasn't one of the 4 active bidders grabbed up the less than 1/2 of what they're bidding. Could they be filtering so tightly that they don't see the other kit??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-AMC-Javelin-promo-JOHAN-trans-am-Mark-Donohue-model-kit-RARE-sealed-/300643454736?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45ffbf0f10#ht_500wt_1413 I do enjoy watching the bidding Wars, but this one has me stumped

Thanks for sharing the Snow Lane. At Lunch today it was Snowing here in S.E. Arizona.

No Thanks. Not all that rare at this house : Just need the Coupe. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Along with the Kit there was a LOT of extra goodies!! Decals a plenty Detail Parts too Pounds of Letters providing detailing information and reference material And finally Pictures of a very well built '70 Sunoco/Donohue/Penske Javelin. Next on my Gonna get it List Yep A Very Good Day indeed.

Santa stopped coming by here a few years back after I took a shot at him when he startled me and I mistook him for a burgler (You know for a Big Fat dude that Guy can really Move!!!!) . These days he sends his Brown clad Elves in their Big Brown Trucks. Today one of the Elves dropped off a Package that just kept on giving. Here's the Box opened A Close up of the Main Subject - I Love the Line "Penske Prepaired....." I wonder what Mark thought about that line? The contents The contentd of the White Box - The Roll Cage is made of White Matal! Also note the Nose and Tail Light assemblys. They're from the '70 Javelin kit. Now all I need is all the stuff in the Middle Continues in Pt 2. Yep there was MORE!

Darned inconsiderate of Jim Hall to place markings over surfaces that folks building kit's would have problems laying decals over seeing as he was one of the first to charge licensing fees to kit makers And given a bit of thought it HAS been a while since '66.............It just took some time to remember

No Problem, but it wasn't THAT long ago Oh and as the door decal just cut it at the seam. remember the doors were Gullwing style and opened where the decal crosses the seam.

Bruce, Nice Clean job on that 2D. FWIW the 2D's didn't run in the CanAm. They ran at Daytona both in '66 and '67 and in '66 only at Sebring, Nurburgring and Le Mans.

Mark, Thank you for the info. I delayed in thanking you earlier because I was sure I had seen both years under both labels before - Well the first thing to go is the mind......... Thanks Again. Paul, Thank you for taking the time to look this up.

No Problem. Hey, you could trim the tip Reeeeaaallllyyyyy carefully

Here ya go A Little Dab'll do ya There's thousands of fastners in each marker!

If you're talking about this Kit : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Jo-Han-Mark-Donohues-69-AMC-Javelin-Model-Kit-/230713631077?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b79aa165#ht_500wt_1413 it's a '70. Donohue only drove the Javelin in '70 and '71. But thanks for trying to help.

Thanks Paul. So how'd you fare through the Wallow Fire up there?

Hello All JoHan and reboxed by AMT released kits for both the '70 + '71 Donohue/Penske - Sunoco Javelins. It's funny (well to me at least) that I have the # for the '70 JoHan - C-105:200 but not the AMT and the # for the '71 AMT release # T372-225 but not for the JoHan version. Someone out there care to fill in the blanks? Thanks

Rob, I'm thankful you didn't bag this project a while back 'cause that's coming out REALLY Purdy!
