Synopsis
" Celebrate six decades of Carroll Shelby's brand of automotive excitement with Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance . Cobra, GT40, Daytona Coupe, King Cobra, Mustang GT350, and more are covered in this heavily illustrated overview. Discover the story behind the company and cars created by the visionary Carroll Shelby, who put Ford and, by extension, the United States on the international motorsports map. Formed in 1962 with the creation of the Ford-powered AC Cobra, Shelby American then worked with Ford Motor Company to stun the motorsports world with the GT40 that dominated endurance racing at Le Mans and elsewhere from 1966 to 1969 and became the subject matter of the acclaimed film Ford v Ferrari, starring Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby. Never one to sit still, Shelby, who had retired in 1960 as a top driver because of a bad heart, led his small team of DIY hot rodders to first develop the Cobra, then partnered with Ford to create the Shelby Mustang GT350 package in 1965, and the GT500 two years later. Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance covers all these early triumphs in depth, following the proceedings from a small shop in Venice, California, to more sprawling digs at LAX. Get to know Shelby, as well as the innovators who surrounded him, including designer Peter Brock, genius fabricator Phil Remington, and a murderers' row of drivers that at one time or another included Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, A. J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, and others. Authors Colin Comer and Richard Kopec, leading Shelby historians, follow the Shelby story through Carroll's aftermarket equipment ventures and his post-Ford relationship with Dodge, including his roles in the 1983 Shelby Charger, GLH (""Goes Like Hell""), and GLHS, a slew of Shelby-badged special editions, and consultant work on the award-winning Viper. The story of the late Carroll Shelby and the company he founded is a classic tale of ingenuity. Profusely illustrated with rare period imagery and modern color photography, Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance is the ultimate tribute to that determination and the cars that resulted.", Celebrate six decades of Carroll Shelby's brand of automotive excitement with Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance . Cobra, GT40, Daytona Coupe, King Cobra, Mustang GT350, and more are covered in this officially licensed, heavily illustrated overview., Six Decades of Shelby performance--from the first Shelby AC Cobra to today's Mustang Shelby GT500! A bad heart forced Carroll Shelby, one of the top racing drivers of all time, to retire in 1960. But that didn't stop the lanky Texan from continuing to make history. He launched Shelby American in 1962 with the creation of the brilliant Ford-powered AC Cobra, soon to dominate both U.S. and international sports car racing. Shelby's winning ways soon led to Ford seeking Shelby's team of "hot rodders" help to make the Ford GT program a success. It worked. Shelby and Ford soon stunned the motorsports world by winning Le Mans and dominating other venues from 1966 to 1969 with the GT40. Fifty-three years later the legendary first Le Mans win of 1966 would form the basis for the acclaimed film Ford Versus Ferrari . As if the Cobra, Daytona Coupe, and GT40 were not enough, this small team of hot rodders, fabricators, and race mechanics also created the Shelby Mustang GT350 in 1965, and the GT500 two years later. Shelby American was nothing short of lightning in a bottle from 1962-1970. Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance covers all of these early triumphs, following the proceedings from a small shop in Venice, California, to sprawling digs at LAX all the while developing new road cars, running a top race team, and giving privateer racers the cars they needed to win. Get to know Shelby, as well as the innovators who surrounded him, including designer Peter Brock, genius engineer Phil Remington, "Mr. GT350" Chuck Cantwell, and a roster of top drivers that included Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, and more. Authors Colin Comer and Rick Kopec, leading Shelby historians, follow the Shelby story through Carroll's post-Ford relationship with Dodge, including his roles in the giant-killing, pocket-rocket Shelby Charger, GLH ("Goes Like Hell"), and GLH-S cars along with a slew of other Shelby-ized machines including his role in the birth and development of the menacing Dodge Viper. The story of the late Carroll Shelby and the company he founded is a classic tale of ingenuity, grit, and perseverance. Illustrated throughout with rare period imagery and modern color photography, Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance is the ultimate tribute to Shelby American and the team that made it all happen., Celebrate six decades of Carroll Shelby's brand of automotive excitement with Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance . Cobra, GT40, Daytona Coupe, King Cobra, Mustang GT350, and more are covered in this heavily illustrated overview.

Honest, courteous, fast shipping, just as described. I was interested in multiple items and contacted the seller to see if I could get a discount. For some odd reason eBay automatically offered me a discount which I accepted. When the seller contacted me offering a discount I explained that I had already purchased the items. After the purchase the seller gave me another discount to match his/her offer. The seller is so honest that I will keep on my favorites. Highly recommend!

The product is incredible and original, very true to the description. The communication was very good and the seller is very attentive. The product arrived quickly in the country, but here in Brazil the post office does a horrible job and even charged me a lot. Apart from the bureaucracy in my country, the experience buying from this seller was the best possible. Thank you very much for everything.
