Is there a hi-resolution version of this photo available any where? Thanks.
From my files, this is I think better ? I believe there is a whole series of these photos, I've only seen a couple. Each car was shot in
front of the others, before they shipped to Le Mans in '66. There are a couple in the Friedman books, he was the official photog for
Shelby. You might want to contact him if you want a good copy, could be expensive !

I don't think it was a photo taken by Friedman.
It was written somewhere he left Shelby American in 1965.
I found this higher resolution version (962kB, 3072x2048 though loading here cuts the size significantly) searching further on the Internet. Interesting to note that it is the exact "shot" as I originally posted but cropped at the top. Both of mine are different from the version Mike posted - note the position of the dark object towards the upper left corner and what appears to be a plane in the far upper left hand corner of Mike's.

There would be several frames that are the "same". Film was cheap compared to having to reshoot something. The photographer would have probably shot a couple rolls of 120 film in his Hasselblad for a cover or lead shot using different time and F stop settings to shoot exactly what the editor sent him to get. 35mm was generally used for B&W or action type shots. One time we used a 4x5 camera to shoot a Mustang Illustrated cover at night.
It is a Friedman photo this was probably shot the same day - https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/463161

Kinda looks like a tow lift, maybe it moved in/out of the frame on different exposures?
