Hi all! just became a member and will like to present myself, being around mustang's all my life! family had a GT350R 67, various 65,66 and a 65 shelby clone, I´ve had a 65 HT 289 and now I´m the proud owner of a SAAC MK1, number 062, quite an impressive car to say the least, attached some pictures from my dad and uncle racing and of my 65 and SAAC!

I thought a very nice introduction. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the nice introduction and pictures. I didn't know the MKI 062 was for sale. Maybe it was a private sale.
The previous owner and I talked on many occasions in the past. I hope the family kept the black '67 Shelby GT350.

I'll send a follow up PM shortly on 062.

I like the photo of your SAAC MK1. I don't know much about them so thanks for peaking my curiosity, cool car.

Thanks for posting, and welcome to SAAC. Great cars and history !

In your two photos of the start of a race, is that the Partida de Las Seis Horas Peruanas, 1966 ? (spelling ?) The image of cars on

track is that also the same event ?

I have the one photo, but not the one showing the drivers running to the cars, thank you !

Peru?

Peru?

You would be quite surprised the number of HiPo Ford/Shelby cars that are in Peru.

[Richstang]

Of the 30 production MKI's built (plus 6 prototypes), 5 were shipped to Peru, all exported at the same time.
They were the first 1992 models built.

All 5 are still in Peru.
