Shelby Scarab Project
Hello Everyone,
Wanted to share my latest project in recreating the Scarab that Carroll Shelby drove and won at the Continental Divide Raceway in 1960. This would be Carroll's final first place win and secure him the USAC Road Racing championship before his retirement as a driver in 1960. Although not a Cobra or a Ford product, Reventlow's Scarab project included some names that would contribute to the Cobra's success a few years later including Phil Remington, Warren Olson and Ken Miles. Also Reventlow's 1042 Princeton facility in Venice, CA was later signed over to Shelby to build the first Cobras.
I did switch over to left hand drive as this will be primarily driven on the street. Hope to have the Scarab painted and driving in the next couple weeks.
Cheers
