Looking for someone who has knowledge on the Mustang GT's used in 1994 for the Bondurant Race School. Found a possible GT that has been sitting and it will need a complete restoration. Any help or knowledge on these cars is appreciated. I have the basic knowledge of the articles and prior auction sales but would like someone who would know the details and may have an original or restored car that would be willing to share their knowledge.
Thank you.

If not mistaken, I believe they were all Orange.
Not sure if they were all built by Roush like this one though........

I attended Bondurant's 4 day school in 1994. Who knows, I may have driven that car. ;) These cars took a beating! Sometimes multiple students would share one car for a session on one of the accident avoidance exercises because it was so hard on the cars. It consisted of deliberately spinning the car while locking up the brakes. A number of students did some off roading.
They were not street legal (emissions) but many have been registered since. Forrest Straight in NorCal bought/sold several of them he'd be a good source of info.
Thanks for the info regarding Forrest. That is helpful.

Years ago when we did an interview with Bondo, I asked him about his '87/'88 T-Bird Turbo Coupes with the 5.0 HO cars he used. "Can I buy one?" was my question. He replied, "Nope, they were all returned to Ford and crushed". That being said, I wouldn't be surprise at least one or two survived(?). And, yes they were built by Roush.
Here's a couple of good articles about the cars:

He came to our little local Ford club car show, here in Iowa, back in about 1991-92 and gave us driving lessons using new cars from the local Ford dealership. We moved all the cars off the dealership lot and setup a road course to go around. He really liked the 4.6L Crown Victorias and boy could he drive one! We also tore up a new LX 5.0L Mustang. He gave me this autographed picture that day because I was his helper.
Forrest Straight would be best for info. Know he had a number of them and opened track them!
I already gave him Forrest's contact information.

Just wanted to thank everyone on the information shared. I am scheduled to look at the car tomorrow after talking to the owner. Will keep everyone posted.
Thank you.

Update on the #10 94 Mustang GT Bondurant School car after looking at the car a couple of weeks ago. I purchased a deluxe Marti Report and there is nothing in the report that distinguishes it as a school car. Odd thing was it had a few options like a better radio that seemed strange for a car to be used at the race school. Another odd item was it shows an Orlando, FL DSO! Does anyone know about how these cars were allocated or have a Marti Report for a car they own and if there is anything that distinguishes them as being sent to Roush Racing?
Any help will be appreciated. Still have not made a deal on the car.
Thank you.
