Aesthetics – Mark Donohue’s 1971 AMC Penske Javelin

Trans-Am race cars have a menacing look to them that draws me in every time I come across them. I'm not often a muscle car guy, but the low-slung physique mated with aggressive air dams and meaty tires tucked into the deep wells are just undeniably cool in every sense of the word. In between races, I took a moment to photograph some of the cool details found throughout the 1971 AMC Penske Javelin that Mark Donohue campaigned to an SCCA Trans-Am Championship win in 1971. Take a moment and enjoy the raw beauty of a Trans-Am contender in all of its glory.
