kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 I read today that the designer of the Shelby was called.....Peter Brock His name was Pete Brock [Not Peter Brock] they knew of each other but had never met. Pete Brock was a young designer[ex GM] that joined Shelby American [Hoping for a drive]as the P/R guy designing all the marketing & advertising. He ended up designing the Shelby Daytona Coupe [along with the Late John Ohlson from Mt Roskill NZ] of which 6 were built [a 7th built by Ohlson for Shelby,to original VIN tags in the 80's I believe] It seems ironic that Peter Brock's last drive was in a replica of the car designed by Pete Brock [in the 60's] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
