I would first assume that this interview has been verified as true, and not some other internet hoax.( MM, you said you had it in print, correct?)

A lot of "vitriol" has been spilled regarding the actions of Carroll Shelby. The interview was better than 12 years ago, and a man has the right to change his mind a number of times in that period. Carroll Shelby is a business man and a heart transplant recipient. He has a business and a cause. Don't mix the two up. If you want to build and sell cars because you think you have a good product, go for it. DeLorean certainly did, and when the money got tight things happened that maybe weren't above board. If you want to base your business sanctions on who contributes to your cause, that may not be above board, but the truth is the heart foundations need your money no matter how they get it. Passion is a intimidable force. The Cobra will be a long-lasting icon of American power, no matter who builds it.

It is time we got past this.
