Carroll Shelby’s name was also
coming up more frequently. Not only
were there rumors floating around
about a reincarnation of the GT350
but Ford actually had completed a
two-seat concept car that looked a lot
like a modern Cobra, finished in
pewter with lighter silver LeMans
stripes. We talked them into bringing
it to the convention headquarters
hotel and parking it outside the front
entrance on Saturday. A buzz of excite-
ment was created, just knowing that
Ford was serious about performance.
