Shelby American Automobile Club Convention
|
This is 5R002, the first R-model GT350, and a virtual wonder car since birth. Not only did 5R002 score the first victory for a GT350 in SCCA competition, it went on to many other B-Production wins in 1965 in the hands of Ken Miles, Jerry Titus, and Chuck Cantwell. With the car are the Shelby American employees who literally made this car come to life: from right to left, GT350 project engineer Chuck Cantwell, 002 fabricator Jerry Schwarz, designer Peter Brock, and fabricator Tom Marietta. 5R002 appears as discovered in Mexico in 1989, but a recent change in ownership will likely bring a full restoration in the coming years.
