History
In an incredible competition career from 1969 to 1974, Allan Moffat and his amazing Mustang amassed 101 race wins from 151 starts (or roughly two wins for every three starts!) and volumes of qualifying and lap records around the country.
That stunning strike rate alone could explain this car's fanatical following, but what made its success all the more astonishing was that Moffat was often competing against muscle monsters with far greater engine capacity like Bob Jane's big block 7.0 litre ZL-1 Camaro, Norm Beechey's 6.0 litre HT GTS Monaro and Pete Geoghegan's ferocious 5.8 litre Super Falcon all towered over Moffat's humble 5.0 litres of small block V8, during the Australian Touring Car Championships (ATCC) from 1969 to 1972.
History records that Moffat never won the ATCC with the Mustang, after four hard years of trying. However, such a statistic is irrelevant when compared to the car's extraordinary success rate and countless unforgettable performances that have each earned their place in history.
