Yeh, they were Trans Am Mustangs in 67. Actually they won the championship. I think only about 36 were built andonly about 18 survive today. Shelby's team was called the "Terlingua Racing Team" named for some ghost town that he and some friends bought. Jerry Titus was his favorite driver and won that year. I like that time of racing as notmany mods were allowed, and the cars looked stock. Unlike todays NASCAR, who can tell them apart. Heres a photo of a clone I built at Nashville Speedway.

Were they all yellow and black? I thinkI may do the paint style just red and black.

I like it... Trying to plan ahead so i dont keep changing my mind. I will either do it like the Trans Am car or Follow the body line and paint everything above it black.
