-----------------------------------------------------------------
This 1966 Ford Mustang Group II A/Sedan racer is number 12 of 16 built by Shelby American to compete in the SCCA Group II amateur racing series created in concert with the professional Trans Am series. Based on the Mustang GT, these cars shared much in common with the GT350, including a Shelby-built 289 CI engine with an aluminum high-rise intake manifold and 715 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor, Borg-Warner close ratio 4-speed, Detroit Locker rear end, high-capacity fuel tank with quick-release filler, heavy duty front disc and rear drum brakes, Koni shock absorbers, heavy duty oil cooler and radiator, 15x7 American Racing wheels and more. Invoiced August 24, 1966 to Turner Ford in Wichita, Kansas, this car was purchased by John McComb and raced from 1966 to 1969, during which it won both the Pan American Trans-Am at Green Valley, TX and the Continental Divide SCCA National in 1966 and appeared on the December 1966 cover of Sports Car Graphic Magazine. It was purchased by Keith Thomas in June of 1967, who finished second in the 1967 SCCA A/Sedan Midwest Region behind McComb. The following year it set the A/Sedan lap record at the Lake Afton SCCA National. It eventually disappeared for 28 years until it was discovered in a Texas garage, after which it was completely restored to the original 1966 specification, one of nine known remaining examples.

Thanks for posting this up Skip! That is definitely a cool little car, and I never knew anything like that ever existed.

Your welcome Matt.

Ironically, if it wasn't for your build thread, I wouldn't have posted it.
