1964 Tour de France Mustangs:

Only five months after its debut, Mustangs prepared by Alan Mann Racing were able to snap Jaguar’s five-year run of victories in touring-class races by finishing first and second in the grueling Tour de France championship series—a ten-day, 3,500 mile, eight-race, eight-hill climb event. The two Mustangs that finished were part of only 19 entrants to finish out of the 56 entries to start. The Mustangs captured nine trophies at some of the most famous European tracks—Le Mans, Reims, Rouen, and Monza. The winning Mustang was driven by Peter Proctor and Andrew Gowan.

1965 SCCA B Production Mustang GT350:

In 1964, Ford was beginning an all-out assault on its Total Performance campaign while ramping up its racing presence. It became clear quickly that the SCCA was not willing to bend to Ford Motor Company’s will and allow Mustang to simply drop into the series. So, Ford turned to one of its racing partners and asked Shelby American to work with the SCCA and figure out how to homologate the Mustang. With several upgrades to the Mustang fastback, including suspension, brakes, a rear seat delete, and the use of the K-Code 289 HI-PO V8, the GT350 was born. Jerry Titus took the GT350 and swept the 1965 SCCA B-Production championship and won three championships in a row.

1966 Shelby American Mustang:

1981 IMSA GTX Mustang:

1981 saw Ford Motor Company’s resurgent racing program and in sports car that was seen with the Zakspeed #6 turbocharged Miller Mustang driven by Klaus Ludwig. With a strong finish in its first race, falling a 10th of a second short, the Mustang finally broke through at Brainerd International Speedway and again at Sears Point in the GTX class. With that, Ford’s new sports car racing program was off and running.

1985 Roush IMSA Mustang:

The Roush Mustang GTO finished the 1984 IMSA season finally at Daytona with a win by Willie T. Ribbs and Wally Dallenbach Jr., which telegraphed the season to come in 1985. That season Mustang went on to win nine IMSA races and John Jones took home the driver’s championship, while Lynn St. James took three of those victories to become the first woman to win in the series and helped Ford take the manufacturer’s championship.
