For one, Old Yeller II, which Shelby drove, as did Bobby Drake, Dan Gurney, and Bob Bondurant, was not an English car but, rather, a home made concoction from Max Balchowsky's garage in So. Cal.

There are many, many stories of American Iron being stuffed in home built chassis. Some were very sophisticated like the Scarab, but there were many inexpensive, less sophisticated cars that could fill an entire page. There is even a book which give attribution to all of these entitled: American Road Race Specials.

The Echidnas, BoCars, Morgans, Devins, Sorrell, Farrellac, Sadler to name a few. The list goes on and on.
