In einem US Forum über Shelby gelesen:
For those of us that didn't know how he came up the the name for the Shelby 350: He and his engineers were in his office one day trying to come up with the name for the fastback Mustang progect he was working on for Lee Iacocca. Many suggestions were tossed around, with no answer. Finally Shelby leaned back in his chair and asked them how many feet they thought it was from where they were sitting to the corner of their factory building. One of them guessed about 350 feet. Shelby said "Fine. That settles it. We'll call it the Shelby 350."

Diese Geschichte habe ich auch schon gehört.
Ironie des Schicksal: Habe an Shelby's Todestag einen der letzten 2012 Shelby's bekommen. Werde wohl darum etwas dazu auf den Fahrzeugbeschrieb vermerken.
