For one point, name the car that this clay mock-up was intended to be and what model year.

You are correct, sir.  The Seventies Javelin that never was.  What happened? Simply, AMC didn’t have the resources to implement such extensive styling changes to the Javelin for 1973. Rather, they smoothed out the roof, revised the grille and taillamps and continued the second-generation’s overall style through to the end of Javelin production in 1974.

Here is another angle of the clay model.
