In 1971 and 1972 the Alabama State Patrol ordered 132 Javelins for highway patrol becoming the first law enforcement agency in the country to implement a "Pony Car" for such duties. In later years other agencies would add Mustangs and Camaros to their fleets. The Javelins were powered by a 401-cid V-8 engine. Top speeds were reported in excess of an impressive 150-mph. The car offered here is a very accurate recreation of a 1972 model and it's powered by the 401 power plant. The car also has a console-mounted automatic transmission, bucket seats, air conditioning, optional slot-styled steel wheels, rear spoiler, blue flashing light and radio; power steering and brakes.

This actual car has been featured in numerous magazine articles and it was seen on TV's History Channel. The "giveaways" on this replica are the front bumper guards and passenger door mirror; two items the original cars were not ordered with.
