The History of the 1967 Group 2 Mustang #19 prepared by Shelby 
Ron Dykes used to race a former Carroll Shelby Maserati 300S #3071, before he entered another ex-Shelby factory car in 1966 with Don Peck at the Sept. 66 4 hour race at Riverside and again in 1967 this 1967 Shelby notchback from Hilton Racing.

This car was delivered to James Hilton and his Hilton Racing Team in April 1967.

 
The Hilton Racing car was first entered in the Green Valley 67 race. It did not finish then.

He entered it again in Riverside in September and Stardust in October 1967. 
Gary Goeringer says in his Fall 2012 SAAC interview article that the car was entered in 4 A/S races with Riverside and Laguna Seca winning a first there.

In 2013 we received a hint on the whereabouts, yet had no chance to follow it up.

Update:
As of 2026 the owner A.P. stepped forward and sent us pictures of the cars current condition. He was and is busy on the reconstruction of the history since decades and has not started any restoration yet.
The car looks surprising original, since it was stored away obviously under good conditions. More to come soon.

Ron Dykes raced various cars at least until 1977.
We are sharing a few pics of his research soon on this site.
