Ron,
Do you recall what section of the "Legends Connections" site the Shelby De Mexico info can be found?

This is the only Mexican GT350 that I'm aware of.

Thanks for the info
No it wasnt a GT350 just a Mustang coupe that was raced with some sponsorship from Shelby de Mexico
I have a couple of photos of it racing in the era just wondering if there are anymore out there
Cheers JCB

Jcbnova, are you referring to a 66 coupe/notchback that was raced from new 1966-73 under the Shelby banner by privateers. The car later returned to the States where it was campaigned and can be researched as the John Ruth car under the A/S and other notchback section on The unexpected Pony Site by Wolfgang Kohrn. Let me know if this is the car you are after as I know where it is.
