Below are various recent photos of the Javelin as I make the car more authentic to the Trans Am Championship car. Note: the TEAM RAMBLER emblem on the back of the switch box is the real deal from the Trans Am days. As the story goes, a Penske team member had a few of the emblems made as a joke. He gave each Penske team member one, and Mark Donohue put on on the Javelin. It is still on the car to this day. This is one of the real emblems.
