SHELBY World Championship Jackets

[FL SAAC]

COPIED FROM THE SHELBY WEB SITE:

Shelby American made history on July 4, 1965, when Bob Bondurant and Allen Grant drove a Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe across the finish line in Reims, France. That day, they helped Shelby American win the FIA Sports Car World Championship, which is the only time an American company has captured that prestigious honor.

Carroll Shelby's Store has a limited number of "continuation" World Championship jackets available. Only 100 were created in this initial run and they are simply amazing. Carefully designed and built (in the USA) just like the ones worn by Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, Phil Remington, Dan Gurney, Allen Grant, Bob Bondurant and the rest of the team, this jacket will make you feel like a champion each time you wear it.

These jackets will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, June 3. Team Shelby members have the first opportunity to snag one, and they are $50 off for a limited time. Please note that the Team Shelby member discount does not apply on top of that offer.

This jacket would make a wonderful Father's Day gift, as well as a great memento to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the 1965 World Championship next month.

I saw the notice.  Unfortunately, like most special Shelby jackets, unless we have a return to "SAAC Does Vegas" in the winter, I do not have the proper weather to wear it!

Actually it was Michael S (RIP) from RacingInc ( I think that's the name of is company) he built an accurate R Model replica and reproduced this Shelby Jack about 8 years ago or so. A lot of people here on the forum bought them as did all the guys on the re-introduced "Venice Crew" that included Pete Brock when they did the IRS 65 GT350 and the revamped R Model fron valence.
So, these jackets are being sold or offered again by Shelby American Las Vegas?

You are correct. It was Michael Holmes of Racing Division in LA. He made 200 (I think?) in an initial batch and I was lucky enough to score one of those - later he made more including a blue one with white stripes. Last time I wore mine was to the Ford vs Ferrari movie!

What did you expect? Shelby Vegas is a marketing firm, nothing more, nothing less.

Earl ,it was Tony Branda (RIP) to first reproduced the jacket some 20 years before Michael S (RIP) did his more accurate version of the jacket . I have one of Tony's and one of Michael's.
