(Preliminary Information subject to further changes during research)

The History of the 1967 Group 2 Mustang #6 prepared by Shelby 

Purchased by George Kirsley acc. to the SAAC registry. 

Driven later by Freddy van Beuren, maybe in Mexico under the Shelby de Mexico banner.

Race results 1967 season
(shown in SAAC-registry)

Refurbished in blue for 1968 season.

Crashed in 1972 during a race. "Paperwork bought by Rich Rodeck with the intention to recreate the car." (1997 SAAC registry  entry) 




Mike Mulcahy provided this information in June 2010:

"My latest race-storation is the 1967 Shelby-Built Group II FIA SCCA Trans-Am Coupe FORD VIN 7R01A164680. I bought the papers and already procured parts from Rich Rodeck...and I located the car in XXXX* after looking for it on a couple of trips.
This car was awarded a Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) Division 1 (NOS or original components only) Concours "Gold" at SAAC34 in Pittsburg in 2009.  The car is period correct and race-ready (with exception of the original R4 Goodyear race tires dated 1967).  
Chuck Cantwell, Bernie Kretzschmar and Carroll Shelby himself have inspected the car and signed the dash and/or door panels (as well as the 4 competition class concours judges headed by Dirk Gasterland). 
 
This car has the distinction of being the only T/A Coupe to have ever attained a Competition Class SAAC Gold Concours award."

*We hope to receive insight into the printed and photograph documentation from Mike soon.
