tcar, your post about Pedro Rodriguez and his younger brother Ricardo got me to go searching.
The red Mexican Mustang still exists and has been for sale recently in Indiana. I did not know it was a Holman-Moody special build. One of two. I should have known...
1967 Ford Mustang - Significant Cars, Inc.
"According to Lee Holman, Holman Moody built 2 Mustangs in 1967, a fastback which was sent to Pedro Rodriguez of Formula 1 fame and this car, which was owned by a Mr Flores and raced by "Batman" Christobal Galjluf to many victories in Argentina, Peru, and Mexico. It was returned to Holman Moody in 1971 and converted to Trans Am Specification. In 1993, the 289 was replaced with this Ford Racing 302 High Nickel Alloy block, 10.5 comp pistons, and NASCAR Aluminum heads. Holman billed Flores just under $30,000 for this rebuild. The car was acquired by a Peruvian Museum and kept in a climate controlled setting for the ensuing years. The car remained in South America until recently being imported by our client. The car needs recommissioned, but represents a great opportunity to acquire a true Holman Moody Race Car at an affordable price with strong upside down the road.
Being a Race car, the car is sold on Bill of Sale, along with all importation paperwork.
$195,000"
