La Shelby GT 350 R de l'écurie comstock racing

The deal between Comstock, Ford and Shelby, as I understand it was one of a “lease option” where Shelby supplied the cars, parts, engines and technical support and Ford of Canada provided some of the financial backing and cars the rest was up to the Comstock Team. Shelby provided the (2) Shelby GT350’s, (2) Cooper King Cobras, (1) Cobra, and I’m guessing that Ford provided the TDF Notchback Mustang, TDF Rally Falcon, Lotus Cortina and the (2) Ford GT40’s. The Team was able to keep and sell what ever cars they wanted at season’s end to cover their costs….
Eppie wiped out one of the King Cobras at their debute event at Westwood in ’63 and he was not to race again until ’64.
