I've seen 67-68 Shelby Trans-Am Coupes, but did they also build/race 65-66? When was Trans-Am started?

 

Mustang coupes were used in the Trans Am series from 1966 thru 1968. There were 16 Shelby-built 66 coupes. They were very similar to the Shelby R-models, but were required by rules to have 4 seats, steel hood, and several other details.

GOOD reading here.

Wouldn't a street Trans Am coupe relica be a BLAST?

 

Oh heck yeah!

Maybe yellow with that blacked out hood treatment.

 

Definite BLAST:

 

Wow, that looks awesome.

SHA-WEEEEEEET!

 

 

I prefer the 67 Style

 

$60K for that bad boy :shock:

 

too bad they didn't make 69 t/a coupes

 

Don't forget about the Cougar (Coupe) in Trans-Am!!

What kind of crackpot would do that with a Cougar? Would probably try snaking into Mustang shows and meets too ... like the Dangerfield of track cars! :geek:

 

Hmmm - think 17x8 & 17x11 TTD's, 03 Cobra blown DOHC, 6-speed........with the vintage-style exterior.

 

You been reading my mind! :scratch:

 

I've actually debated (several times) :bang: parting with my car to build something like that... :scratch:

OR.... Think about a 69-70 Eliminator clone with the same drivetrain, including the IRS. :scratch: Since the 03 Cobra was code-named "Terminator" at Ford, I'd just HAVE TO change the side stripe from Eliminator to Terminator... Roll that on some billet 17" Magnums... :shock:

Some many ideas, so little time (and $$$)!

 

....but only if it has a Flaming River R&P!

Man that is scary. I too have had the same thoughts with regards to a 69-70 Eliminator, and a 1969 Boss 429 Clone. (Without the IRS, and a stroked and supercharged 396 (stroked 351), though a 03-04 Cobra motor would be very sweet).

Time and Money! Need more of Both . . and Space!

 

That Red and silver combo is B-E-A-utiful.

 

There were '65 Group 1 Rallye coupes, built and prepared by Holman-Moody (IIRC). Some of the modifications made for that competition was not legal for early Trans-Am which used Group II guidelines.

 

although these werent built by shelby. the 69-70 boss trans ams are my favorites

 

All--

FYI

I may be moving this thread to the ‘Ford Motorsports’ Thread. It seems to be heading more in lines with that thread.

Everybody cool with that if I do?
