ShelbyViper,
I would be interested in finding contact info for Mr John Barnes.
This is for info on a original art piece Bill gave me in trade for getting him his red 67 GT 350 .
painting was sent to me from a NY museum for my fee.
Believe I had originally bought the 350 from Don Bergner, please excuse any misspelling, Indiana if I recall correctly
Regards
John

The block is identical to a standard run-of-the-mill 289 block.
The Mexican block is truly just a basic cast iron block with heavy caps.

If your buying or selling for/ from a friend the situation boils down to what you, or someone else is willing to pay for that item. They seem to present themselves every ten to fifteen years or so, you or others have to figure out where you fit in with this possible time frame! Then you will have to take into account that if YOU dont buy it, then friend of a friend will advertise it and someone else will buy it. Good Luck on what ever direction you take.

IMO, Ford wanting (taking) control from Shelby American. Carroll getting pissed, telling Ford to get lost & going an entirely different direction (Africa, Reno - motel & dealership, etc.). May not be 100% accurate, but generally from the dozen or so books I have read over the years...
Sorry I missed your post, as you raise good questions:
Ford wanting (taking) control from Shelby American.
Why for non performance on S.A. part ?
Carroll getting pissed, telling Ford to get lost & going an entirely different direction (Africa, Reno - motel & dealership, etc.).
Or Ford again not happy with compliance or production results. One has to acknowledge making 500 widgets the first year was a challenge. Come year two and three, are you ramped up to handle an additional demand on widgets ?
I don't think CS and crew had the ability, man power, resources to continue their product growth. Sometimes your worst enemy is your very own success

Alrighty
