It was built at Ford’s Lima, Peru factory and owned by Galjuf family. Christobal who was the son, daily drove it with his family (he originally bought it for his wife in 1967) for around 6 years then decided to send it to Holman and Moody (yes that one, from North Carolina) in July of 1970 to go racing. It has a 302ci Boss headed V8 and was finished and shipped back to Peru (packed in crates, and once in Peru reassembled). It was built to 1971 Trans-Am Mustang specifications and the body was acid dipped for lower weight (it was road tested at Road Atlanta). It began racing in Peru in 1973 and was entered in 6 races where it won 4 and came in second for the other 2 and after around 1974 (it also raced in Mexico and Argentina) the car sat for decades unused (interesting note is that Christobal went by the nickname "Batman" so his father wouldn't find about about his racing). The engine was later rebuilt by Lee Holman in 1992 where it got a Holman and Moody vin plate. The car sat some more time and somehow ended up in the Jorge Nicolini Collection in Peru and then came to the USA in the late 2000s where it is still today after which it was restored around 2015. I believe I got the story right (Hagerty.com and Ponysite.de have the whole story and details about the car)
