[Historybuff]

A few months ago I saw floating at the top of my pile of stuff
a photocopy of Shelby himself driving the mid-engined Lone Star.
I believe the copy was from industrial auto supplier publication. Now I've lost the copy but does anyone have that original publication?The car is now owned by a historian who is patiently restoring it. I saw it on a used car lot once back in the Sixties. It is mid-engined , 289 powered with a ZF 5 speed and looks like a pregnant Lotus Europa with a removable roof. I gather that Shelby showed it to Ford but they were not interested, though within two years same time Ford invested millions in DeTomaso to build them a mid-engined car.
