Default Iacocca seems to have forgotten Shelby in his memoirs
I have looked at three Iacocca authored books and
he doesn't give Shelby much ink considering Shelby helped the Mustang image and Ford performance image so much.

I think Iacocca was still more of an Italian car fan than
Cobra-Shelby Mustang fan as evidenced by the TC by Maserati fiasco
and Chrysler purchase of Lamborghini later on. Ironically, Iacocca could handle Shelby but DeTomaso got the best of him...
