http://image.mustangmonthly.com/f/thehistoryof/17146813+ppromo_large/mump_0903_01_pl+shelby_mustang+production.jpg
From The Men Who Built The Cars (http://www.highperformancestangs.com/thehistoryof/mump_0903_shelby_mustang_history/index.html)We've heard the Carroll Shelby stories many times--about how the "Cobra" name came to him in a dream, about how he originally tried to fend off Lee Iacocca's desire to turn the Mustang into a sports car, and about how he named the GT350 by asking an employee about the distance between the office and the shop. Carroll's stories are legendary. But underneath them all and behind the scenes at Shelby American, there were hundreds of men (and a handful of women) who supervised departments, drove the race cars, created and sold parts, and installed the fiberglass hoods, stripes, and other components that transformed Mustangs into Shelby GT350s and GT500s.
