I lived one block from Shelby in the sixties when I was a student at Santa Monica College, but lived near him in Playa del Rey, CA. He would drive either a 65-66 fastback Shelby or Cobra to his LAX facility and I would rush out and watch him drive by since the exhaust gave an early warning. While at SMC I called the Shelby office and they loaned me the 66 fastback Shelby prototype with new rear quarter windows and first automatic transmission for the SMC homecoming parade weekend. Later, in 1970, upon returning from Vietnam, I bought a 1965 Mustang convertible, converted it to a Shelby clone over the years and still have it in Florida. I never met him in the neighborhood, but later met him at SAAC conventions. Long live the Shelby name!

Mine had the 260 cu.in., which was enough. You did not need a heater to keep your toes warm! I usually would start out in 2nd gear, then upshift directly to 4th. I also jacked the rear end about 2 inches which I felt made the Tiger look even better.

I had the extreme good fortune to grow up in Dearborn in the 60s. While working at a local department store, my boss turned out to be married to Bob Negstad - the engineer responsible for the first Mustang suspension, later the suspensions for the LeMans cars. I ended up dating Negstad's step-daughter who took me to 'his work' one night, a place called Kar Kraft. which was located down a side street in a light industrial area. We entered through an office, then walked through a door which took us into the garage. Even though I was a mere 17 years-old, I understood that I was in the presence of automotive history as all the LeMans cars shipped back from Europe were in that room. I even got to sit in one and couldn't believe how small and tight-fitting the seat was. Those were fabulous days for motorsports and I've got many memories of some very fast Fords.

[@Loulovesspeed]

Minor point but the 289 Hi Po from Ford was rated at 271 HP. Shelby quickly bumped it up to 306 HP with a cam, headwork and headers in the Cobra.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@Irvin Hoover - Interesting because I had a 1980 Mustang turbo 4 and the best part of that car was the car itself - not the engine. Ford didn't really have any turbo experience and they had problems with the '79 version, but supposedly they were corrected by 1980 - they weren't! It was poorly engineered with the catalytic converter just off the exhaust manifold and the turbo right off it. The cat disintegrated and blew the turbo at 60,000 miles. The engine was the only (but big) issue I had with the car. It was a fastback with TRX wheels and fat Michelin rubber and I splurged for optional Recaro seats - they were great. I would have preferred the V6 with a 4 speed but Ford only offered it with an automatic. Too bad, as I said, the car was fine but the engine was piss poor. Bought 2 VW GTIs after that! In fairness to Ford, ALL American companies produced their share of the crappiest excuses for a car in the 80s.

[@gagamba9198]

Yes, Shelby won Le Mans in '59. But people keep forgetting about Phil Hill, who was the first American to win it, the year earlier. Further, Hill was the only driver to win both Le Mans _and_ the F1 driver's championship in the same year, 1961. He won Le Mans again in '62.

Matt Damon needs to be in the ... The Bourne Identity - The BRM Story

[@lescobrandon3047]

Ryk Latortuga - In the minds of many, Damon is an anti-American turd.

Don't you mean "The Bassingbourn Identity"?

[@fxpthl]

Can’t wait to see this film! I was a huge fan of the late Dan Gurney and to have his son playing him should be great. Matt, also a favorite actor should represent Mr. Shelby to a tee!

[@overbuiltlimited]

Edward Grant Really? That’s who you’d choose? A guy from Boston to play a guy from Texas? A guy 8” shorter than Shelby?

[@apexerman1]

Gotta agree, Overbuilt. I like Matt Damon, but a long, lanky Texan he ain't. Matthew McConaughey would've been a better fit.

[@shawnbeck2303]

Matt Damon is a traitor. He moved from America. He loves the money he makes. In films. He should have not gotten the Shelby part. Ben could have played him better. But he cant keep is nose clean. Shawn

[@overbuiltlimited]

Shawn Beck Had no idea that Damon left the country. Figures though. Funny how he doesn’t have any problem playing an iconic American from American racing culture...

Jay , I wish you had been my power mechanics teacher in high school ! If the TV thing gets old you would be a great teacher !

[@sarracene]

this was posted since october, & still no one has edited the video description??

I CANT BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE SITTING ON A 65 GT-350 WITH YOUR FEET ON THE BUMPER, LIKE ITS A OLD FARM TRUCK!!! THATS HARD TO WATCH!

[@dalepalmer3771]

Oh please... My uncle used to bang my Aunt on the hood of his GT500... I still can’t get the picture out of my head... BTW, he still has the car, but He’s been through several “Aunts”...😂😂😂

[@apexerman1]

If that's the case, Dale, that hood will need some major repair... or that fiberglass is super thick! :)

[@planpitz4190]

Thought the same thing , i bet Mat Damon only put his Foot up when he saw Jay Leno do it first ! LOL

[@ryantruax4635]

Bruce Greg talking like a little shoe dust is going to do irreparable damage to that steel bumper. As if it wouldn't collect more dirt while being driven than any shoe would put on the bumper. Also acting like the hood is going to collapse likenit was made of paper..... Also, if you actually watch Leno's garage episodes, you'd realize very few people appreciate vehicles more than Jay. So the whole "the richer you are, the less you appreciate" thing doesn't apply to Jay and his vehicles.

[@WorldwideWyatt]

What? You think Jay is worried about that paint. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cbglassiii9362]

The 289 is my all-time dream car. OMG, such a beautiful beasty of a thing.

[@charliestout2815]

289 trumps the 427 any day

[@bretmclean7961]

The 427 is the "real beast"!

[@stevenmorley1639]

Great interview guys. Many thanks 😊 🙏

[@urbancamper4224]

I met Carol Shelby in the 80s at a racetrack called Road America. It was a classic car road race weekend. It was very cool shaking his hand.

[@davidszakacs6888]

A whole movie about Shelby's life would be great

[@peterbrock1897]

It's coming from Adam Carolla in mid-November. It'll be far more tral than Matt Damon's Hollywood fantasy.

[@normanrosenblatt2848]

About TWO movies: Carroll Shelby Part I; Carroll Shelby Part II. He did too much for just one movie.

[@T1000AX]

"matt damon" - matt damon

[@shawn13mertle13]

I have to see this movie.Worked at a big time dealership back in the late 90's early 2000's.Clients would bring their show off cars in the service isle for every one to gawk at.The GT 40 would get every tech in the shop out of their stalls to come and have a look.Truly a wonderful American car.

[@lousekoya1803]

Thank you ! I've watched the movie three times and still not tired of it !
