[/ QUOTE ] Looks like you're right on with that Paul. I just found my November 2000 issue of MCR and the car in the photo is featured. It's owned by Darryl Salisbury or Portage Michigan. According to the story this AMX was specially ordered with the unique blue/white/red paint scheme to mimick a land speed record 68 AMX that wore the same paint scheme and was originally campaigned for AMC by Lee Breedlove, wife of Craig Breedlove of "Spirit of America" fame. The car was built and was used as a giveaway promotional vehicle for the Labatt's Blue Can Am race at Mosport International Raceway in Ontario Canada on June 1st, 1969. It is suggested that the paint scheme was used to help promote the success of Lee's land speed 68 AMX at a major race like the Mosport Can Am and that fans would likely be privy to the significance of the car and it's unique paint scheme. The article says the car was found in Canada as a 4 owner 140,000 miler and was rescued/restored by the current owner. It's a 290/225 Hurst shifted 4-speed, also radio delete. The stainless chin spolier was a dealer add on. Cool story behind a cool car. Now what about R/W/B Javelins? Were there any of those factory built?
