The guys responsible for cranking out the original batch of competition-spec 1965 Shelby GT350Rs will begin producing a new round of the legendary race car, albeit with a few improvements.
Made up of Shelby American employees who were with the company from 1962 to 1965; Peter Brock, Jim Marietta and Ted Sutton, will begin building 36 brand new Shelby GT350Rs in the fall of 2017. However, this time the cars will feature improvements originally planned for the car back in ’65 but were squeezed out by time constraints. “Much like Carroll Shelby’s original Cobra, the 1965 Ford Shelby GT350R changed the performance car landscape,” said Jim Marietta, CEO of Original Venice Crew Mustangs. “By adapting lessons that the Shelby team learned racing Cobras and Daytona Coupes, our Crew at Shelby American turned a ‘mule into a racehorse’ as Carroll Shelby would say.” The improvements include a redesigned front valance, a reworked plexiglass rear window, and most importantly, an experimental Ford Advanced Vehicle independent rear suspension originally designed by Peter Brock. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...al.net20170907

Will they be licensed for the road I wonder?
New car, built in 2017, will have to comply I'm guessing. But I'd be happy to have one in the garage and just look at it, and maybe a sneaky drive at 2am.

As CSV8 mentioned it is a different Peter Brock from North America. He was with involved Shelby American. Special note with regard to the Daytona Coupe.

For those that are not on the front foot with Ford history.............our Peter Brock was killed in a Daytona Coupe replica of which 6 were originally built by Carol Shelby and designed by one of his employees who guess what name it was........yes Peter Brock, he's was still alive last time I looked too.
Cheers Mick |

Instant classics although I wonder if the purists will accept them.
On a side note and little known to many (speaking of Peter Brock), two men named Allan Stewart Moffat and Andrew Dicky Johnson were integral in the production of the first Z/28 racing Camaros. I totally made that up
