I'm always a sucker for the "Shelby went to Chevy" first comments. Shelby went to a LOT of people in search of the right combination of car and engine to put together his dream. Oldsmobile was higher on his list than Chev. Donald Healey (Austin Healey) was among other also contacted.
If I had a business I was trying to get going I'd take investors where I could find them. I might even swallow my pride and ask Chevy, but I'd hate myself in the morning!
