The 9 best Ford touring cars of all time
http://www.motorsportretro.com/2013/...s-of-all-time/
All of these are from across the "ponds." I'd throw in Scott Pruett's '86 GTO Mustang, and maybe Tommy Kendall's 11 win Trans-Am Mustang.
Ford touring cars have made appearances, won races and clinched championships across an incredibly varied spectrum of touring car classes worldwide. Fighting with the best the world has to offer and often coming out on top, Ford touring cars have not only been quick, they’ve come in all sorts of shapes and sizes too. There have been many, but these are the best:

That TK Mustang is what got me into Mustangs and road racing to begin with. I remember back in the day, the old Speedvision network was the only place that had coverage, and the only place I got that channel was at the beach. I was transfixed. Trans-Am, and that old series with Alan de Cadenet

I guess technically this'd qualify for "Touring Cars," since that's [one of] the category this one ran in, in Australia. How about: Allan Moffat's TA Boss Mustang--arguably the winningest racing Mustang EVER, with a record on the order of 101 wins from 151 starts...
If memory serves correct: Moffat was able to secure a spare TA car from Bud Moore (or may have been Kar Kraft?) and had it shipped to Oz to help establish his professional racing career in earnest down under. Over its long career, it was configured with both Boss 302 and 351C powerplants, and included a silver/green Brut 33 livery; but it's best remembered in its (now restored) red Coca Cola signage.
