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? :-D |

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

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. :drool: |

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: :drool: :-D :banana: Some many ideas, so little time (and $$$)! :shame: |

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! :jester: |
That Red and silver combo is B-E-A-utiful. :nice:

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.

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? |
