Not Ranked
I just came back from the Press Conference of this exhibit. Carroll could not attend because of an ear infection but he's okay so not to worry about.
However, John T. Tuft, President of Carroll Shelby Licensing, Inc. confirmed that Shelby and AC were now official and that Alan Lubinsky of Malta is the partner. The first cars will be a 2005 continuation model.
This exhibit CARROLL SHELBY, LIFE IN THE FAST LANE is a MUST SEE for any Cobraphile because it traces Carroll's history of involvement in racing starting with a MG TC, Ferrari 375MM, Scaglietti Corvette, Carroll's CSX2000, Dragonsnake, GT350, GT350 Shelby Racing School car, GT40 (Gary Schroeder's), 427 comp #6, Bruce Meyer's 427SC, Lynn Park's 289FIA #16, McCluskey's Daytona Coupe #15, Viper, Shelby Series 1, Can AM Spec Racer, AC 3000ME and even an Omni GLHS. Maybe I will post photos this evening.
Sorry Greg, you're going to have to visit Lynn personally for the front license plate bracket.
