Hey Robbie - If I understand correctly, the '67 Paul Revere 250 was a kind of tryout for what was to become the NASCAR Grand American Series which officially debuted in 1968. The TA was very popular and NASCAR wanted a similar series and they pretty much adopted the Trans-Am rules. So, cars were the same as TA - compact American and imported passenger cars. Engines were limited to 305-cubic-inch (at first). Basically, the 1967 Trans-Am field came over to NASCAR to run this new Paul Revere race. The Shelby Mustangs (Jerry Titus finished 2nd) and the Penske Camaros were all there, along with the under 2.0 litre cars like Porches also competed.
