Entered in the Going to the Sun Road Rally in 2013, this car covered 1,200 miles in five days and reportedly only suffered a rock-damaged windshield, which has been replaced, as has the windshield gasket.
Dressed in Jamaican yellow and black stripes, the car’s paint is in overall very good condition. The windows are clear and intact, as are the vehicles lights. This pony rides on BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, sized 235/60R15 that surround genuine and correct American Racing Trans Am five-spoke wheels. All of the car’s body panels are straight and solid, courtesy of a donor body from arid Arizona. The trunk and battery are tidy while the engine bay is very tidy. Highly detailed and nicely presented.
Inside, the black vinyl seats are in excellent order, as is the matching carpet. The instrument panel is crack-free and features aftermarket oil and voltmeter gauges. The inner door panels, mirror glass and shift lever all look great. There is no radio in this vehicle.
Jerry Titus once again captured the attention of Carroll Shelby, as Titus had once repaired a Maserati race car for Shelby during a test drive of the 1965 Shelby GT350 for Sports Car Graphic. Shelby offered Titus a place on his SCCA National Championship team, and Titus won the 1965 Pacific Coast National Championship with a production GT350. In 1966 Titus entered the newly created SCCA Trans-Am series for Shelby's Terlingua Racing Team and achieved victory at the last race of the season at Riverside International Raceway. Titus left his position as editor-in-chef at Sports Car Graphic and became a full-time racing driver for Shelby's team. He went on to become the number one team driver and won both the 1967 Manufacturer's Championship for Ford and the 1967 Driver's Championship as well. In the 1968 season, poor performance by the Terlingua team lead Titus to switch to racing the Pontiac Firebird under T-G Racing for the 1969 series.Titus entered the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona and raced to a class victory and an overall third place. The 1969 season was plagued with engine configuration problems for the new car, resulting in 3 DNFs for the team. The highlight of the season was a second-place finish for Titus at Sainte Jovite, Quebec.Titus completed only one race out of seven in the 1970 season, taking seventh place at Laguna Seca.
