Eric Davison did a wonderful job while working for Shelby American. If anyone could tell the story, he is the one! Enjoy meeting the cast who participated in building the "Shelby Series 1".

I've been interested in cars for as long as I can remember. Building your own car is a dream come true for many motorheads. Carroll Shelby, will always be famous for his involvment in the Cobra, the Shelby Mustangs and the GT40, and Shelby Chryslers but the Shelby Series 1, as far as I know was the first car bearing his name to be built from the ground up. It COULD have been his greatest work. However ... so many things happened that shouldn't have happened. I finished this book cover to cover almost non-stop. Being employed in the car industry, everything in it really hit me. A fantastic bunch of vendors like Multimatic, Oldsmobile, ZF and others were involved in the construction of this fantastic car. This is a tragic story, but a must-have book for every car fan out there.

I use to work for Mike Deichmann at his GM dealership in New Bern. I knew he was heavily involved with Shelby, but this book is a true eye opener! If someone ever makes this book into a film, I vote Mr. Deichmann to play himself. Truth truly can be stranger than fiction! His favorite slogan: It's all about Attitude.
