Why can't authors ever get their facts straight? Not all authors but MOST when it comes to automotive historical articles. This one is no exception. https://www.motortrend.com/features/1968-shelby-gt500-fastback-mecum-auctions-harrisburg/?wc_mid=4035:23353&wc_rid=4035:1886389&_wcsid=5222838722F4482D6EB5C7420A94B3ABB27D575CC6ADECE0

Their "facts" promote a "higher" sale of the vehicle.

I should have said their "facts" are to try and get a higher end price for the vehicle and like you mentioned it would be from the uninformed.
Articles like this do a huge disservice to the brand/hobby. Many people read them and will argue with their last breath that it is correct and you are wrong.
A.J. Foyt won the 1966 TA championship??!!!!
Shelby began Cobra production in 1962 using the 221 and 260. 221??!!
Neither of those comments sound accurate. But what do i know.
Look for a "super rare"221 cobra at an auction site near you!!! ;)
This line highlighting the writer's "qualifications" explains it all:
Like many kids growing up in the era, your author had an HO-scale Aurora slot car racetrack—a kit that featured Shelby Mustang GT350s on the box.
