Schedule for Historic Trans Am

Ross Myers

1970 Boss 302 Mustang #41
Originally driven by Ed Hinchcliff

Ed Hinchcliff, a Ford Motor Company Engineer who had access to many of the trick parts developed by Kar Kraft Engineering, built this car.

Ed finished the car in time to compete in two 1970 Trans-Am races. He raced the car through the '71 T/A season, finishing midpack most of the time, and also a few T/A events in 1972 before selling the car to Roger Pierce of Syracuse, NY.

Pierce competed in one T/A and various regional SCCA events for about three years. The car was then stripped and dumped in a body shop storage yard, where it sat until 1980. The car was advertised in Hemmings Motor News for sale. Terry Bookheimer spotted the ad.

After three trips to Syracuse, Terry and Ross Meyers of R/T Racing purchased the car and brought it back to Pennsylvania for an extensive restoration. A short time later the original full floater rear axle assembly was located and purchased.
