  • The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History
    The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History In the early 1960s, the advent of the American muscle car era would mean high-power V8 engines, quicker-shifting four-on-the-floor transmissions, bigger tires and improved suspensions for faster elapsed times as drag strips popped up across the country. This fierce competition for bragging rights on the weekends would lead to an increase in vehicle sales on showroom floors come Monday. With Henry Ford II determined his company could compete with the best and fastest in the world, a boisterous young man from Texas with a reputation for building winning race chassis powered by Ford engines came to the attention of executives in Dearborn. Soon a collaboration formed between Carroll Shelby and his Shelby America and Ford Motor Company – one that would change the course of automotive history. 1965 Shelby GT350 Shelby GT350, the first high-performance Mustang While Ford engineers worked in secret to develop the revolutionary Mustang pony car, Shelby was already hard at work building Ford-powered cars to take on the world at Le Mans. As the very first 1965 Mustangs came off the line, several were quietly shipped to Shelby America in California for engineering of the first high-performance Mustang – the Shelby GT350. Less than a year after Mustang began production, Ford and Shelby pounced with the first high- performance model, Shelby GT350. Powered by a Shelby-modified Ford 289 high-performance V8 churning out 306 horsepower, the 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 competition models were built and homologated for SCCA competition, quickly winning the first race on February 14, 1965.

  • Bob and Pat Bondurant's Fast-Paced Home
    The Home Page: Bob and Pat Bondurant’s Fast-Paced Home Written by David M. Brown Bob and Pat Bondurant are always on the move. So is their Paradise Valley home. A circular drive invites friends, family and former racing associates into the eucalyptus- and citrus-shaded home of the legendary race driver and founder of the world-famous Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. Built on two-plus acres in 1984 by Hermosa Homes, with design by David Ross, both Scottsdale, the 7,880-square-foot five-bedroom custom Santa Barbara was renovated in 2002, with new interior design by Ernesto Garcia, ASID, Phoenix. Throughout the home are photographs and automotive memories of Sebring, Daytona, Le Mans, Laguna Seca, the old Riverside International Raceway and Grand Prixs at Watkins Glen, New York, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Belgium, France and Monaco, where the Bondurants married in May 2010. Many of these tracks Bob last raced on more than four decades ago when, as a member of the Shelby American Racing Team, he helped win the1965 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile World Manufacturer’s Championship — the first and still only Americans to win that prestigious title. And, they did it against Enzo Ferrari’s “unbeatable” GTOs. Recently, Pat and Bob invited us in for a tour of the home and the automotive and personal histories it celebrates. “Our home joins both of our worlds, like a powerful engine in an intelligently, beautifully designed car,” Bob says. “We have the memories of the lives we had before we met, and we have brought them together to celebrate the business, the life and love we now share.

  • Remembering Ian Garrad
    Remembering Ian Garrad The Tiger combines the exhilaration and precision of a sports car with the adrenaline rush of a V-8 musclecar Ken Mattice Here’s a car that was specifically created by The Rootes Group to capture a place in the ultra-high performance sports car market of the 60’s. The Sunbeam Tiger was offered with numerous Dealer supplied performance enhancement options that allowed the buyer to increase the performance to any level desired. The Rootes Factory created internal Performance Programs to compete in races and rally’s in Europe and supported several race teams in the USA, dedicated to demonstrate the capability of the Sunbeam Tiger. Ian Garrad was not only responsible for the creation of the Tiger Prototypes; he was in charge of all the LAT Options and race support programs in the USA. Ian was a Rising Star in the Rootes Group corporate world, rising from a Factory Rep position in Toronto Canada in 1951, to Manager of West Coast Sales for the Rootes Group by 1961 in Los Angeles. It was during this period that the Rootes Team Drivers of the day, Graham Hill, Jim Clarke and Stirling Moss, pointed out to Ian that the Sunbeam Alpines that they were competing with in SCCA races were great handling cars, but they needed MORE POWER. The rest of the story has been told many times by many authors, but the basics remain the same. Ian took charge, made preliminary evaluations, found corporate funding, were none was available, selected not one but two fabricators to produce working prototypes, risked his career by shipping the best prototype back to England to demonstrate to management a car he hoped would capture a significant piece of the 60’s performance sports car market.

    SHELBY COBRA DAYTONA COUPE www.SHELBY.com 702.942.7325 While the Cobra roadsters were dominating the tight road courses of the United States, they lacked the aerodynamics for the high speed European circuits like Le Mans. In 1964, Carroll Shelby asked Peter Brock and Ken Miles to develop a coupe version of the Cobra to compete with Ferrari, Aston Martin and Jaguar. Given the name Daytona, the coupes were unstoppable. Driven by legends like Dan Gurney, Bob Bondurant, Allen Grant and Phil Hill, the cars won the FIA World Sportscar GT class in 1965, making it the only American manufacturer to do so. The modern day aluminum Cobra Coupes are period correct from the leaf spring suspension and tube chassis, to the wooden rimmed steering wheel. The cars also incorporate safety and performance improvements that do not detract from their originality. Each come equipped with a premium black leather interior, modern disc brakes, and a stronger frame. Today’s fiberglass Cobra Coupes are an evolution of the original. They come with modern features such as air conditioning, and an updated suspension. You’ll also find these fiberglass Coupes to have a much larger and more comfortable passenger compartment to accommodate drivers of all sizes. $ CSX9000-series Daytona Cobra Coupe - Aluminum from 324,995 (Engine & Transmission not included.)

    Hand Built Classic Cars from Norfolk, England A S Motorsport Ltd The ASM DBR Le Mans Photo Courtesy of P. Gunnar Recreating the glory with a Modern Icon INFORMATION AND SPECIFICATION www.asmotorsport.co.uk History of the DBR1 & DBR2 After acquiring Aston Martin in 1947, David Brown set his sights on victory at Le Mans. This goal was to be achieved in 1959 by the team of three DBR1’s. The triumphant DBR1/2 was driven by Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori. Maurice Trintignant and Paul Frere, in DBR1/4 finished in runner-up spot, and Sir Stirling Moss & Jack Fairman retired in their influential DBR1/3. The epic battle between Moss and the Ferrari’s in the early stages of the race caused the fragile Ferrari’s to become overstressed, and one by one, they retired. Thus Moss, in his sacrificial DBR1, cleared the way for Shelby and Salvadori to claim the chequered flag and give success to David Brown and Aston Martin in the 24 hour race. With other excellent race performances, including victory for the third year running, at Nurburgring and the Goodwood TT, Aston Martin would also secure the overall Sportscar World Title that year. Having achieved the double of Le Mans and the World Sportscar Championship, David Brown then announced the decision to concentrate their racing involvement in single seater car race series, with Formula One their main focus. Therefore the total production of DBR1’s numbered only five. The DBR2’s were prototypes constructed on a pair of backbone chassis that were left from the short lived 1955 Lagonda V12 race car project.
