Description
Inside Shelby American is a personal account of the iconic sports car builder and racing team from John Morton, a champion racer who worked alongside Carroll Shelby. In the late 1950s, Morton's passion for sports car racing led him to join the Shelby School of High Performance Driving in 1962.
A chance encounter after his final class at the school changed the course of his life: he was offered a job at Shelby American, with just a broom as his welcome gift. This marked the beginning of Morton's long and successful racing career, one that would take him behind the wheel of some of America's most legendary cars.
This book is more than just a historical account of the company; it's a story told through the memories of those who worked there, including designers, fabricators, and drivers. With historic photographs, Morton shares an untold perspective on the rousing story of America's most legendary racer and car builder.
