In my opinion of what I read, which may or may not be true cause when you read something is the opinion of the author based on their facts and asumptions. Mr. Shelby was bullheaded and if it wasn't done his way he didn't want to do it. He admitted in a TV interview that he got feed up and left ford. I agree ford made some mistakes, but as every working man knows everybody got a boss and most of the time, no, nearly all the time they do things their way. BY 66 Ford allready had the preformance package (427) all shelby did after success with the 260 was struck the power train in a English AC Sprint and called it a cobra. Now, with that kind of preformance Ford jumped on the band wagon. Both parties made mistakes and really suffered for it. Why didn't Mr. Shelby stick a Mark V 427 in the AC sprint? My opinion ford had the more powerful and dependable engine, transmission, and rearend, and that engine (my opinion) is still the benchmark for preformance. At least Ford let Shelby put his name on their Mustang. Most men would of been would of been grateful, but some get swelled heads. Bottom line, it was Ford power that made the names...This is all based on my asumptions, worth absolutly nothen.... RC |
