vamach1 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 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.

Or how about a phantom 71 Boss 429 Mustang? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

james460 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) 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.
