There aint many ex-racing drivers that have a second breath after there success on the track. Maybe some of the more recent drivers but back then most just continued out of the limelight.
Shelby was very lucky to get the backing from Ford after chevrolet rejected him and the basis of the whole car from AC Cars. Otherwise it just happens he might of been looking elsewhere... Ford liked the idea of having him marketing there engine products with competition racing.
