There will never again be a car like the Coca-Cola Trans-Am Mustang. Only two years after the XR GT set in stone the need for V8 power, the bright red Mustang of a young Allan Moffat was a no-holds-barred, full factory import from North America. A 'gift' from Ford and built in the same Kar Kraft workshop as the 1966-1969 Le-Mans winning GT40s, Moffat's Mustang wasn't just groundbreaking for Australia - its specification was yet to race in the US.
A hardened, determined young Moffat was resolute in becoming Australia's first professional race driver, and the Mustang was the state-of-the-art warhorse he raced towards stardom. Its bellowing BOSS 302 V8 wasn't just the biggest engine, but Mustang's balance of power, aerodynamics and handling blended with Moffat's deft touch saw a win rate of 101 in 151 races between 1969 and 1974. Moffat became a bona fide Ford Australia motorsport legend.
