1970 AMC Javelin SST abandoned 30 years, first look.

Here is a car my brother just bought. He has been looking to speculate on old cars and look what he found....

This is a '70 AMC Javelin SST, possible Mark Donahue edition. The owners widow allegedly has a stack of paperwork to this car so we are crossing our fingers there is something to document a real Donahue car.

This is Tijuana Tan metallic, 360-4V, Safe Command power brakes and power steering.

It is very original and unmolested. The story goes is the original owners bought it, drove it until sometime in 1979 when the trans went out. The husband started to pull the trans out, but passed away suddenly.

His widow left this car and 3 others where they sat for the next 31 years. They literally had to spend a week cutting down the forest to get them out.

This Javelin wears vintage Cragar-type wheels, has the requisite add-on 8 track player also!

I will get more video and photos as we progress through clean-up and mechanical evaluation of this AMC.

Please comment and subscribe, thanks!

@bmw76308 The entire car just sold for $1300. It was a driver, not a parts car.
