A friend of mine who is a gold card judge for the 64,65,66 mustangs told me
last night at our club meeting that the 4 Mustangs were all a different
color.

Larry,
I cant speak for why the mustangs were built, i'd guess not
homologation given they were 15+ years past their build dates and you
are not going to homologate a convertible for racing when you have the
stiffer coupe shell.
I'd guess it was more like the sanction 2 aston martin DB4GT Zagatos,
in the early 90's aston martin sanctioned a limited run of DB4GTZ's
from zagato to compliment the originals.. they only made a few to keep
the values high.. and they are now worth about 50% of the original
60's cars (they are all 3mill + cars!) this was done as an
image/profit making exercise.
I;d hazard a guess that shelby ould have no issue sanctioning a few
extra cars for a few extra $....
As for the tool rom copy debate.. read into any of the discussions on
the FIA HTP's... there are pros and cons.. you have priceless
originals racing against replicas (be they exact).. but is that fair..
or perhaps its good that you can race a replica and save the original?
The there are cars like the lancia D50's and ferrari-lancias, 156
shaknoses.. cars that were lots to history.. and now remade exactly so
we can see them ru nagain...
