Peter Brock says: "I like all of Colin's books but I think he outdid himself with this latest which is co-authored by Rick Kopec with a Foreword by Jim Farley (serious racer and CEO of Ford Motor Company). I was immediately attracted to the high quality photos, some of which I've never seen before. Especially all the great photos in the chapter on the Daytona Coupe. Weighing in at a hefty 3+ pounds and a sizable 10” wide by 12.5” long and 1” thick, it’s a true bargain at $60."

A Celebration of the People, Racers, Races, and Cars of Shelby behind the “Lightning in a Bottle” that is Shelby American. A legacy stronger than ever after six decades! 

Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance covers all of these early triumphs, following the proceedings from a small shop in Venice, California, to sprawling digs at LAX all the while developing new road cars, running a top race team, and giving privateer racers the cars they needed to win. Get to know Shelby, as well as the innovators who surrounded him, including designer Peter Brock, genius engineer Phil Remington, “Mr. GT350” Chuck Cantwell, and a roster of top drivers that included Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, and more.

Authors Colin Comer and Rick Kopec, leading Shelby historians, follow the Shelby story from the first Cobra through the incredible new Shelbys being produced by Ford and Shelby American today. Not to mention the tremendous following and clubs spanning the globe!

The story of the late Carroll Shelby and the company he founded is a classic tale of ingenuity, grit, and perseverance. Illustrated throughout with rare period imagery and modern color photography, Shelby American 60 Years of High Performance is the ultimate tribute to Shelby American and the team that made it all happen.
