Description: Inside Shelby American is a firsthand account of the iconic sports car builder and racing team from John Morton champion racer and personal friend of Carroll Shelby. In the late 1950s a young John Morton was transfixed with sports car racing. By 1962, his dreams had led him to enrolling in the Shelby School of High Performance Driving. In a bold moment after the last class Morton asked Carroll Shelby if he might come to work for the newly formed Shelby American. The answer was Yes here's a broom. Thus ended Morton's college career and began his long racing career. Inside Shelby American is his personal account of a company overflowing with talent from designer Pete Brock to fabricator extraordinaire Phil Remington to drivers like Dan Gurney Ken Miles Bob Bondurant and Phil Hill.
