We know that Dave Friedman has plenty of pictures of the small block cobras and gt-40's, but that should be expected as he was the official Shelby American photographer. Since Shelby did not actually race the 427 much (I think 3002 was only raced by the factory a handful of times), that could explain a minimal number of pictures of 427 cars on Dave's part. Perhaps many of the books with historical race pictures rely of getting pictures from Dave as sort of a easy place to get a good variety of pictures. So it might require a lot more work to track down a bunch of different photographers to get a decent enough collection of period 427 cobra pictures.

I want another book with just street cars in it. I get tired of leafing past all those beat-up race cars trying to find the pretty ones.

The beat up race cars ARE the pretty ones.
(to me at least)

I believe he left the company after 1965, so he was not really there for the majority of the 427 production run. |

I guess I just assumed that Dave continued to be the official Shelby American photographer thru 1967 if his GT40 book ended in 1967.
