The American Motors Javelin was introduced for the 1968 model year, and participated in the Trans-Am series that year as well. In 1970, AMC signed Roger Penske and Mark Donohue to its team. AMC won the Trans-Am Series in both 1971 and 1972, the final years of Trans-Am's "golden age." In 1970 the Donohue Javelin was introduced for public purchase.
1972 is considered to be the end of Trans-Am's "golden era".

From the 1970s on, Trans-Am cars and/or drivers would also be seen running in the IMSA GT Championship.
