Ford provided Carroll Shelby with an engine for his start up sports car company and AC supplied the bodies. Shelby hired a bunch of hot rod builders in California and they created the Cobra.
Soon Ford turned to Shelby to beef up the Mustang and turn it into a Corvette beater. The GT 350 was born.
But there was more. Henry Ford II had tried to buy Ferrari and was spurned. Not one who was used to losing he decided to beat Enzo Ferrari on the track. After Ford's first forays stalled they turned to Shelby to beef up the GT 40s and take on Ferrari.
Pete Brock, Ken Miles and Dan Gurney put the cars through their paces.

I met Carroll in 1993 and had the chance to thank him for the 1986 Shelby Charger front end and handling package which saved my life when I hit a deer. The car spun end over end along the side of a cliff, never actually leaving the ground, landing on the road in the opposite direction with the motor still running! Any other car I've owned would have flipped and probably gone over the cliff. I was able to drive it home, another 100 miles. His simple response was "Yeah, that was a great little car."

Four of my motorsport heroes here; Carroll Shelby, the true epitome of a legend. Dan Gurney, one of the finest sports car drivers of his generation (and formula 1). Pete Brock, an outstanding designer/driver/engineer. And Ken Miles, one of the finest drivers ever, taken too soon, who should rightfully have been given victory in the 1966 Le Mans race.

Great vintage footage of classic sports car racing. Starting at 13:25 is a scene from my childhood. I vividly remember this Sebring race, including LeMans start and the rooster tails of rain from the cars at night. There's a brief crowd shot at 13:50 where you can see where we always watched the race. My dad paid for the Turn 1 parking spot, and his friend Mr. Daniels brought the grove truck with the hydraulic lift bed. That's us on the right. Certainly explains why I'm a car nut.

I'm a little past 70 now but in 1966, I was a teen. A friend of mine's mother past away that year and his father bought my friend a Shelby GT 350. That car was fast. I remember it had the 289 and 4 speed. It said it had 306 horsepower and I believe it. I vividly remember he and I going on the Palmdale Freeway from the I 5 where he opened that thing up. It scared the Hell out of me as the speedometer was showing 140 miles per hour. When he hit that speed, he brought it down to 80 where a CHP officer snagged us. Being that we were juveniles, he lost his license for 30 days. If we were snagged at the 140 mark, he could have lost his license for a year or until 18. That was one Hell of a car. In 1968, I bought a Camaro SS 396 with turbohydramatic. I was able to take him off of the line but he was able to overtake me at 85. Shelby was an automotive genius with the 350 and 500.

Also, the Superformance GT40's are in the Shelby Registry, totally legit, and have an improved suspension and other features, also it's road legal and can be a daily driver.

These were the same driving techniques I learned in the police academy, pursuit driving(EVOC) early & late apexes, power thru turns & corners, downshifting over braking, straight lines(cutting corners) which equal wheels turning creating control, plus steering wheel hand placement techniques. Most importantly when in the lead, fold up the inside rearview mirror; distractions equal lost time.

I guess I am old/young enough to have felt they both left an automotive legacy in their own way. I think Paul dying somewhat tragically (a la James Dean) has led to that outcry.

SAME DUDE! Like what did Paul Walker do that would make him cooler than Carroll Shelby? Let’s look: Paul Walker: •Actor of Brian O’Conner in Fast & Furious. Carroll Shelby: •Was in the U.S. Air Force for a period of time (I thank him for his service) •Highly successful race driver who always kicked ass •Founder of Shelby American, makes some of the most badass cars ever •Largely responsible for Ford’s victory at Le Mans

Thank you so much for posting this. In 2006 I met an American girl from L.A who raced motorcycles. We got into a relationship and I went over to stay for 6 weeks. We went racing at Willow Springs on the weekend of my birthday in December. I knew Willow Springs was special... But I had no idea of the kind of history it really hid. Started at the back on her 54,000 mile R6 In 26th place and got a 12th and 13th. Some of the finest days of my life 😁👍

Wow! Amazing! Just made my day. The thing to note is that they are using Jazz as the music, which was pretty forwarding thinking even in the mid-60s. I recall a conversation with a guy who in the late sixties was looking to buy either a corvette or a cobra as they were about the same price(not sure if it was a used cobar vs new corvette or new vs new) and to his regret he picked the corvette.
