The book chronicles first the racing career of Carroll Shelby and then details the history of his automotive business ventures with chapters on the small block Cobra, big block Cobra, Daytona coupe, Shelby Mustangs, Sunbeam Tiger, Dodge minicars, Dodge Viper, and Shelby Series 1. There are also two chapters on LeMans racing and one on Shelby's war with the clonesters.

The same author is also hoping to have copies of another new book he wrote with Al Axelrod and Brian Winer called "Ford GT40 and the New Ford GT." The book is being printed in Hong Kong and a few will be flown in if it is off the presses by then. These will be hard to get, with not even one for every one of the 4200-plus '05-'06 Ford GT owners.
The author promises refreshments, and a celebratory cake cutting at noon. Those who arrive in their own two seater Cobra , real or replica, will be given an autographed photo from the author's collection .
The bookstore number is (818) 845-0707. Contact man is Doug Stokes.
