1968 American Motors Javelin Coupe Tapestries

The 1968 Trans-Am season saw a new competitor in sedan road racing, one that in its rookie year displayed the perfect combination of brute strength, amazing speed and all out stamina. Two race-prepped Javelins were equipped to race in the over-2-liter and under-5-liter engine class which permitted a maximum of 305 cu. in. engine displacement. The Javelins had factory 290 ci V-8 engines that were bored to 304.3 cubic inches to obtain maximum performance within the displacement limit. As a result, the first official American Motors racing team proved that their Javelins could compete with the best of the best in the Trans-Am racing circuit.
