1966 Ford Mustang Coupe " Ken Miles & John McComb Shelby Group II Tribute
Restored Trans-Am Racing Look 289 V8 & 4-Speed Top Loader
If you have a soft spot for '60s Trans-Am racing heritage, this Ken Miles & John McComb Shelby Group II Tribute is an excellent addition to your garage. Inspired by the golden era of SCCA and Trans-Am road racing, this coupe would look right at home staged in front of Green Valley Raceway or Sebring. With its race-prepped demeanor, aggressive stance, and performance-focused build, this Mustang is a rolling tribute to the privateer racers who turned Ford's pony car into a motorsport legend.
Race-Ready Looks with Authentic Touches
Finished in Wimbledon White with bold blue racing stripes, this coupe proudly wears custom decals that echo the competition cars that tore through American road courses in the '60s. Weight savings was the name of the game in Trans-Am, and this build stays true to that ethos with a removed front bumper, taped headlights, and clamped glass-all hallmarks of an era where speed mattered more than creature comforts. Hood pins keep the lightweight lid secured, and a radio delete interior reinforces this Mustang's purpose-built nature.
289 V8 Power with Cobra Upgrades
Under the hood, this pony packs a properly tuned 289 cubic inch V8 topped with a Cobra aluminum intake and Holley four-barrel carburetor-a setup that echoes the small-blocks that dominated Trans-Am. Long tube headers feed a high-flow dual side-exit exhaust. Mated to a 4-speed Top Loader transmission, power is transferred to the ground through a Ford 8-inch limited-slip rear axle (2.79:1)-perfect for stretching this Mustang's legs down the straightaways.
Driver-Focused Cockpit
Step inside, and you'll find a no-nonsense black bucket seat interior outfitted for aggressive driving. A wood-rimmed Cobra steering wheel gives a nod to classic race machines, while a custom-mounted tachometer keeps revs in check when pushing through the gears. Period-correct racing belts complete the package, reinforcing that this Mustang is about business, not comfort.
Upgraded Handling & Stopping Power
True to its racing roots, this build isn't just about speed-it's about control. Four-wheel disc brakes ensure modern stopping power, while 14-inch aluminum Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires provide the perfect combination of period-correct looks and grip.
