This Trans Am Mustang went to auction not long after this event, thing the reserve was a Mill? might have been 800K? was expensive anyway but very well restored and a very rare historic car.

This is CSX 2472. An original Dragonsnake that happened to be autocrossed and road raced for the bulk of it's existence.Originally Posted by Steve Holmes

Thanks Chad, great info. What is autocrossing? Is that where competitors race against the clock around a temporary course made up of cones etc?
Indeed, that is a good description of what folks in the USA call autocrossing. Similar to gymkhana.
Here is a link to photos of CSX 2472 at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania autocross, back in the day.
Steve, this is a 1966 Shelby Group II Mustang currently owned by Carl Stein. According to the 2011 Shelby Registry, this is the 3rd 1966 Group II Mustang built. This car was originally raced by Peter Talbert.
Though McComb did drive this car at the Mid-America Trans-Am, it might be a bit confusing to label this the John McComb '66 notchback, because he bought and ran his own car (another '66 Group II Mustang, the 12th car built... According to the 2011 Shelby Registry).
More on the above pictured Hayward Ford liveried, #91 Group II Mustang can be seen here and here.
More on the John McComb, #33 Group II Mustang can be seen here and here.

This is Bud Moore Boss 9F02R112074, and did not sell in it's last auction (Russo & Steele, Monterey, 2010).
Because Steve commented on the tyres/tires, I should also note that the Firestones on this car are original, and not the recently offered reproductions.
The restoration effort on this car, most of which was originally performed by Richard Rodeck, is stunning.

Thanks Chad, yes, agreed, stunning restoration. I didn't know the tyres are original. Amazing! I assume NOS?
