Its amazing how some of these cars evolved, and raced for so many years. Here is the '67 Shelby Mustang, raced by Bob Egan in the Trans-Am, before it was bought by New Zealand born Bob Kennett. Kennett ran it in the Trans-Am in 1970, replacing his Porsche 911, which had been outlawed by the SCCA. He then did a swap with Dexter Dunlop (for a McRae?), and Dunlop took it to NZ and raced it from late 1971. It then went to Kevin Haig in the South Island, who won the OSCA championship with it, before it was passed through more owners. I think Lawrence Bruce also owned it? By the early 1980s, it was still charging hard. Its now in Queensland, as part of the Bowden collection.
