'67 Terlingua Mustang

Did a search (manual as well as search engine) for those CBPs and did not find them. Got some links?

Fred Cady did a decal sheet for this car. They're still regularly found on ebay.

Neat project and build. I've got all the parts squirreled away to build a replica myself.

Very nice Shelby Team car! I saw this one racing with Titus at the wheel back in '67 at Crow's Landing near Modesto, California. It was an old naval air field out in the sticks, no-wheresville! But, AH, the racing was great especially the '67 Cougars of Gurney. Thanks for the great memories. I'm a racer at heart and would rather see the 'stang with meatballs and numbers!

The 67 and 68 Mustangs were my favorite TA cars so I really like your model. Did you use a resin body for the notchback or do the conversion yourself.

Incredible

Hi Jim, Patrick Phil, and Dan, and thanks for the commments.

The Fred Cady sheet is what I used for my replica, and it is a great one I agree! This is a conversion, and I used AMT's 1967 GT, and 1966 coupe cars. The 1967 was a fresh kit, the '66 was a parts car... I bought both off E-Bay.

Basically the car is finished, it was posted up initially for the Cannonball Run CBP, so I wanted it to look more like a "street" car, so the rest of the decals along with the numbers are coming soon.

That's a very nice Terlingua Mustang.

Last year I worked on a restoration of a 1:1 scale 67 Shelby Trans Am Mustang. NO It's NOT a GT350 or a GT500, It's a Notchback like this one, but it was built by Shelby for Trans Am Racing. 289 engine with dual Holley 4bbls.

Do you have build threads on these 2 models?

Richard, restoring a 1:1 of these cars has to be a DA...DARN cool thing to be able to do!!

Please, if You have any more pics, I'd love to see them!!!

That one I worked on was the same thing as the Team Terlingua cars. Built by Shelby in a group of about 25 Mustangs pulled from the San Jose California Ford plant. The team used 4 of those for themselves (one of which Jerry Titus rolled and destroyed). This one was bought new by a Shelby Team driver, Fred Sutherland, who won the regional B Prod Championship the previous year with his 289 Cobra. He recently bought it again as a rusted-out hulk less engine.. Took a lot of work to restore it.

Richard, those are great pictures!! I searched for some good reference pics on the internet, with not much luck so I improvised...... a lot!! Like adding slapper type traction bars, and the fuel cell.

At this point, I don't think I'll start all over, but it is good to have a source for good reference shots.

Thanks a bunch for the link.
