This 1967 Ford Mustang coupe is one of approximately 375 examples manufactured at Ford’s Lima, Peru, assembly plant starting in October 1966, and it was purchased new by Limeño road rally racer Cristobal Galjuf, who drove regionally under the name “Batman” to hide his racing activities from his father. The car was driven daily through 1971, when it was shipped to Holman–Moody (H&M) of Charlotte, North Carolina, for conversion to an “FIA-spec” racer, and it was campaigned by Galjuf in six road rallies across Central and South America during the racing season that followed, including first overall in the 3,000-kilometer Frontera-Frontera that was held on the Carretera Panamericana through the Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru. A refresh was subsequently performed at Holman–Moody in anticipation of continued racing, but the car was soon retired, changing hands several times before landing in Lima’s Museo de Autos Antiguos Colección Nicolini, where it was discovered and purchased in partially refurbished condition by a US collector in 2011. The restoration was completed by Cameron Bishop at Cuttingedge Hotrods and Fabrication of Phoenix, Arizona, in 2020. This Holman-Moody-built Mustang race car was purchased by its current owner in 2025 and is now offered by Foreign Affairs Motorsports, a BaT Local Partner, on consignment in Florida with documentation and a bill of sale.

It is believed that the car was flown in 1971 to Miami, where Holman-Moody picked up the car for transport to their facility and completion of the build. The work by Holman-Moody is claimed to have topped $20k and was finished in 1972. Upon completion, Galjuf reportedly rented Road Atlanta raceway to test the car, and following that test, the car was disassembled into parts and flown to Peru to avoid detection. Galjuf then raced the car using 400-sequence race numbers, achieving several wins before retiring from racing.

Restoration work was completed by Cameron Bishop at Cuttingedge Hotrods and Fabrication of Phoenix, Arizona, in 2020. The acid-dipped body is finished in red with race livery and Holman-Moody decals, and exterior details include X-taped headlights, a lift-off hood, hood and trunk pins, a left-side mirror, chrome bumpers, and side-exit exhaust outlets.

The H&M Talladega Super Speedway front end makes use of reinforced and gusseted A-arms with dual shocks and custom valving, while an H&M Trans-Am setup with dual shocks and rally springs is employed out back. 3½-inch-wide front and 2½-inch-wide rear drum brakes were also fitted.

The car rolls on gold-painted H&M double-center steel wheels mounted with 8.00×15″ Goodyear Blue Streak Sports Car Special racing tires.

The cabin houses a roll cage and stock bucket seats wrapped in black vinyl with bolt-on bolsters and Lifeline safety harnesses.

A fabricated switchbox is mounted between the seats, transmission and differential cooler assemblies are located on the floor behind the seats, and a spare wheel/tire is secured beneath a metal strap that spans a roll cage crossbar and the form-fitted rear-seat-delete panel.

Additional equipment includes sliding safety latches on the doors and a fire extinguisher.

The padded two-spoke steering wheel fronts a stock dash panel housing a rebuilt Sun Tach 8k-rpm tachometer and Stewart-Warner gauges for oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temperature, and coolant temperature. The car does not have an odometer, and true mileage is unknown.

A vented ATC fuel cell with an H&M Super Speedway decklid filler is mounted in the trunk. The filler assembly features internal rollover check valves, an overflow funnel, and a Halibrand quick-release cap.

The retrofitted 302ci V8 was rebuilt by Holman-Moody in 1991. It features a Ford Racing high-nickel block fitted with NASCAR-sourced Cleveland-style aluminum heads from Bud Moore Engineering and an H&M acid-etched crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons as well as a Roush-prepped Ford Motorsport intake manifold and a Holley four-barrel carburetor topped by an aluminum cowl-induction airbox.

The engine is further equipped with an MSD distributor, an H&M remote dual oil filter kit, a re-cored and polished oil cooler, a replacement mechanical fuel pump, breather-tube valve covers, and a re-cored aluminum radiator with a Harrison expansion tank.

The Toploader four-speed manual transmission has a reinforced case, carbon-fiber synchro rings, and David Kee bearings and internals, while the H&M floating 9″ rear end features oversized hubs and 4″ interior-diameter bearings.

A serial number plate attached to the firewall identifies the car as a Holman–Moody creation.

A second plate located inside the driver’s door bears a serial number for Lima’s José Pardo Instituto de Educación Superior Tecnológico Público (Public Higher Technological Institute or IESTP), which has ties to Peruvian racing through its automotive engineering program.

The car is accompanied by a three-ring binder containing its history and documentation.
The car is sold on a bill of sale.
