Dan Gurney '69 Trans-Am Mustang

Thanks for the link For the completed Shelby team car.  There were a lot of differences between the 69 and 70 rules and paint scheme etc.  Ford did niot both to use actual Boss 302’s since a race engine would be installed so some cars did not ever have a VIN.

I have been planning to get the new kit but would use it to build a 69 Boss 429

That should be a fairly easy swap.  Or how about a phantom 71 Boss 429 Mustang?  ?

Phil's building a '69 so not applicable but regarding the Factory Team color for 1970 from the book Racing Mustangs:

I posted this information on another forum and a gentlemen stated Bud Moore told him directly the color was "School Bus Yellow" not Grabber Orange. The gentlemen is well connected with NASCAR so I have no reason not to believe him.  You can decide for yourself what color you think the cars were painted.

In 69 the Gurney cars were blue the Bud Moore team was red white and black. I had thought the Moore team changed to the orange/yellow paint in 70.

Just to clarify the Shelby team Mustangs were blue - Gurney was a driver (not a team owner) for Shelby during the '69 Trans-Am season.
