I agree. A guy (Shelby in this case) doesn't have to sweat his blood and guts out to be regarded as a significant contributor. Too many people complain because they think his contribution was overhyped. I am fairly confident, that when the 289 and 427 cars came to be, he wasn't standing around thinking, "Hmmmmm, I wonder if all the replica owners are going to hate me 40 years from now for not contributing enough to this endeavor." He just did what he did and the rest is history. I am also pretty sure that, chicken farmer or otherwise, he was paying the rent and issuing payroll checks to all the others in his Cobra-building entourage, so that counts for something.
