From FranklinMint.com:"The Terlingua Racing Team’s roots began when Ford Motor Company asked Carroll Shelby to turn its Mustang into a race winner. “We
were a bunch of young hot rodders when we formed the Shelby Terlingua
Racing Team,” noted Carroll Shelby, Founder of Shelby Automobiles. As
a symbol of their lifestyle, Bill Neale designed the now famous black
and yellow logo , with a rabbit holding his paw in the air. Shelby
also said, “Some of the greatest racers in the world competed in
Terlingua Shelby Mustangs. Ken Miles was the first to put the ‘prancing
rabbit’ in the winner’s circle when he won the race at Green Valley
Raceway in 1965. Then things really broke loose when he introduced Jerry
Titus to the team.” Titus became one of the most iconic
Terlingua racers when he drove for the Shelby team in the 1967 Trans-Am
series. He piloted the first “official” Terlingua Racing Team car. The
combination of outrageous looks and serious performance in a car driven
by such a cocky, talented driver made the team very popular. And it
seems the Terlingua Racing Team is even more admired today by drag
racers, drifters and road racers.” Throughout the decades,
drivers put Terlingua Racing Team badges on more and more cars; some
were official Shelby entrants while many were not. Terlingua
Racing was Carroll Shelby's way of "thumbing our noses at the
establishment," according to Carroll. That pretty much defines the tone
that is Terlingua. Shelby and Terlingua decided to go racing, and that
is when history was made. The incredible Ken Miles was Terlingua's first
driver, and none finer ever sat behind the steering wheel of a race
car. He made winning look easy. From Cobras to Ford GTs, Ken was the
champion's champion, till his tragic death in a testing crash at
Riverside Raceway in California. Terlingua's next legend was
Jerry Titus. Carroll Shelby, Jerry Titus, and the team that was
Terlingua Racing won the Championship they weren't supposed to win: the
1967 Trans-Am title. The now-famous Terlingua Racing Team rabbit logo
paint and graphics adorn these specially commissioned custom painted
Franklin Mint Precision Models. The Terlingua Team won a regular basis.
From drag racing to stock cars, insiders have proudly adorned the
Terlingua Racing Team shield. Own this memorable part of history, as

Team, The Franklin Mint is proud to issue these commorative edition 1968
