Default 427 Cobra raced in Mexico?

I was at a meeting of the history buffs in Burbank
and a Mexican guitarist who builds model cars showed me
pictures of a white 427 Cobra that was raced in the Sixties in Mexico by a team which ran race cars for about ten years. I was wondering if anyone knew of this
Mexican team, and whether the car stayed in Mexico. I don't have the name of the team now but will look for it or ask him if he is at the next meeting. He also had a very fine quality coffee table type book on the Rodriguez brothers who were racing in the Fifties, I believe one of them won a race at age 15. They never drove for Shelby who could have hired them as they were up and comers but were very hot drivers; mostly foreign cars, and both perished at the wheel while racing.
