I thought Ford supplied the engine and transmission. ????
Just sayin' ;-)



Wasn't the GT40 built by Lola.... in England?
Wasn't the 427's chassis/suspension designed by Ford?

I am happy to be corrected as my information comes mostly from the Internet :-(

Shelby was a persuasive facilitator and marketing guy.
His grand plan was not a lot different from many others at the time. Except, he ended up on the top of the pile.
Endless promotion and hype..... its the American way ;-)
