What about interviews of Shelby from back in day in Australian magazines? I think Shelby raced there once, or was it in New Zealand, in the 1950s? I used to contribute to WHEELS, I think they are out of print. We don't get Australian magazines on the newsstands here in the U.S., never did, compared to the British magazines like Motorsport, Car, T & CC, Classic Car, etc. What would be the equiv. of Road & Track in the U.S., a car magazine dealing with sports cars? Or don't they have a classic car magazine today, the equiv. of Thoroughbred & Classic Car?
Somewhere on this forum was a video of Ken Miles racing a 427 Cobra CSX3002 at Lakeside in 1965. (I tried to pull it up but the link no longer works) I think he DNF'd but it's too bad he didn't have more parts and mechanical support to carry the Shelby American flag. Are there good still pictures of the car as it raced that day? I think it was blue with a white stripe.
On another Ford subject concerning Australia, did anyone ever hear of the Mach 2 Ford show car rally car that supposedly Alan Moffat had something to do with (maybe building a rally verson?) Here's the street version
1967 Ford Mach 2 - Концепты
I find it hard to believe because the thing was built on a '67 Mustang floor pan which I think would be way too weak to base a race car on but maybe he beefed it up. I don't think I've ever read of it running in rallies? Or do I have my prototypes mixed up?
