Calypso Coral Test Vehicle

Calypso Coral is the factory color of the 1970 Ford Mustang Mach1 which I recently purchased.
With the vehicle I received a shipping invoice which indicated that my car was indeed a Calypso Coral, Competition Orange or Vermilion from factory.
What’s really interesting is that the car was equipped with a 351 Cleveland, two barrel and a shaker hood scoop.
The “sold to box” on the invoice shows Jim Bassett Ford Sales, in Giddings, Texas ordered the car.
The “ship to (if other than above)” box shows the car was delivered to the Texas International Speedway in College Station Texas.
I vaguely remember an article on a group of Calypso Coral ’70 Mach1’s that were delivered to the College Station Speedway for testing by an Oil Company.
It is possible that the article ran in Muscle Car Review and possibly there after in one of the Mustang Magazines, I believe this article was printed in the last 2 years or less.
If you could help me find either of these two articles I would very much appreciate your efforts. Or forwarding this message to someone you know may know.

Thanks, Peter
