The collection of paperwork below represents a Holy Grail of information for a Trans-Am Javelin owner. These cars are so rare that even the most dedicated AMC fanatics have never seen a Trans-Am Javelin in person, however for an owner of one of these cars to have full factory documentation including the original shipping paperwork from the factory, a surviving build sheet and an original dealership window sticker is exceptionally rare. Only 3 cars on the registry have this kind of documentation. Additional dealer documentation has been added to help paint a more complete picture of these cars. I wish to thank Mr. Benvie for providing these from his personal AMC archive.

Factory installed 1970 Trans-Am Javelin window
sticker. All prices are MSRP, all options are
mandatory.
All Trans-Am Javelins featured full manufacturer warranties. As you can see here the Trans-Am Javelin was more than just a special paint job. The complete package included all these features and manditory upgrades.

Original factory bill of lading paperwork for
shipping and transportation of vehicle. Notice equipment delete is listed, unlike on the above window sticker. Also, bumper guards are marked as removed. Notice the pre-production car still had these bolted into rear bumper for the photoshoot. |

Dealership to factory purchase order
used to place orders using factory
assigned codes. This information
would typically run from retail dealer
to zone then on to the factory. AMC used a modern computer system for
keeping track of it's ordering system.
This form was used as originating
paperwork. |

These T/A factory build sheets had been used to document each unit's equipment and
configuration. From paint to seat materials, the Trans-Am Javelin build sheet shows everything from trim "Delete" to custom spoiler installation.
Many build sheets ended up being thrown away by factory workers, some ended up in glove boxes or under carpeting. Most are located under the rear seat springs, however they often rot away or are eaten by rodents. |
