The picture was found when I googled Sunoco Beautification patrol. Picture came out of some sort of Sunoco magazine. I've been searching for the original booklet but haven't found one.

OK, I looked it up in my revised reprint version of "The Unfair Advantage" Rodger Penske bought the first 18 Mark Donohue Javelins for Sun Oil Company and SUNOCO hired 18 young girls to go around to the gas stations with a check list .(Beatification Patrol) There no mention in the book of what color the 1970 Mark Donohue Javelin were , just that they were the first 18. They had one left over Mark Donohue eventually bought it for his mother. So, the cars were 1970s not 1971s and may not have been blue. No other information is given in the book. Page 193 has a few lines telling the tale. No other info is available that I'm aware of but some may come up with some thing. I always surprised by what people due come up with on AMCs. LRDaum

This was mentioned in The Unfair Advantage. No real info on the cars though.
