1967 Trans-Am Cougar #98 Dan Gurney and Ed Leslie both drove the No. 98 Mercury Cougar in 1967 Trans-Am competition, with Parnelli Jones driving Bud Moore’s No. 15 entry. Carroll Shelby’s Ford Mustangs edged the Cougars for the title by two points – back then, the main trophy went to the manufacturer, not the drivers.

1992 Roush Mustang T/A GTO #15 Whistler Roush/Protofab debuted this car in 1985 as a Capri for the Trans-Am, and modified it two years later for IMSA Camel GTO for Lyn St. James. The car continued racing through 1992, winning the GTO class in both the 1991 and 1992 Daytona 24 Hours and 1991 12 Hours of Sebring, with drivers including Dorsey Schroeder, Wally Dallenbach Jr., Robby Gordon and Mark Martin. Roush chassis #011 was finally retired. Its recent restoration required only minimal cosmetic attention to bring it back to its 1992 configuration.

1996 Roush Mustang T/A #11 All Sport Tommy Kendall drove Mustangs owned by Jack Roush and prepared by Dan Binks to three consecutive Trans-Am titles in 1995, 1996 and 1997. The 1996 title is significant due to that being the last year for GM support in the series. In 1997, Kendall drove his Mustang to victory at Lime Rock, one of 11 victories in 13 races in a record-setting season. 1993 Bud Moore Thunderbird #15 Motorcraft When Geoff Bodine drove this Motorcraft Ford Thunderbird to victory at Sears Point Raceway in 1993, it proved to be the final victory in the storied career of Bud Moore Engineering. Moore was a beloved World War II hero and a champion in both NASCAR and Trans-Am, delivering on his promised with dedication, hard work and humility. This car represents and protects his legacy for the next generations of motorsports enthusiasts.
