Cal,
Having had the pleasure of sitting in on several of the dinners with CS at SAAC conventions, yes, I understand what you are saying.
Randy,
CS is a very complex man, I admire him for his fortitude and his stubborn will to get the job done, not matter what job that was in the past.....Will the automotive market have anyone like this again in the future, after the Delorean fiasco
, probably not....
Yours in Fords,
Bill S.

Thanks for taking the time to key this story in. I found it facinating to read that Mr. Shelby wanted more credit for the unsung people who made the Cobra. A more complete story, like this, goes farther than an incomplete one and better sheds light on his deeper feelings. I suspect that this is one of many pieces of the overall CS puzzle. Once all these pieces are placed together, I hope to have a picture of the 'real' Carroll Shelby, one person that I admire for his contributions to one of my life's dreams, along with the rest of his team of creators.
So, thanks again for finding and publishing this. I hope to see more direct quotes coming.
