Carroll Shelby was late putting a Mustang team together. Ford Motor Company was really wanting Mercury to be
the Ford
factory team in Trans-Am but Shelby had wanted to have the chance to defend his Trans-Am title won in '66, plus there
were people within Ford that did want to see Mustang involved as well. Shelby was able to get a support program for racers
running Group 2 Mustangs in Trans-Am and A/Sedan and this helped bring a lot of Mustangs to the racing grids in 1967.
