  • I rarely use the word "awesome" to describe anything but I was left with that feeling after spending three hours at Shelby American Saturday June 13, 2015. The facility is immense, clean and inviting. It is about 5 minutes driving time from the Mandalay Bay, plenty of parking. Souvenirs at reasonable prices. Everyone there is friendly and enthusiastic. If you are, or at some time in the past, were, a car nut, this is the place for you, whatever marque appears on your baseball cap, tee shirt or keychain. There is an assortment of cars on the floor that takes you through the history and career of the fabulous and interesting man Carroll Shelby was. Gratis, mind you, GRATIS, is a one to two hour tour. Ours was given by Jim King, a 50 year Ford and SA veteran who, is friendly approachable and, dare I say it, fascinating. Jim stood in front of each car on the floor and told its story and how it wove into the racing passion that took place in America in the 1960's, and how this passion stretched across the pond to involve Ferrari and the 24 Hours of LeMans. Even my wife, who couldn't tell a Cobra GT from a Grand Torino was taken by the tale Jim wove. After a discussion about the cars he took us into the shop (it was Saturday so there was no work in progress) and explained in detail the process you might go through to obtain any number of cars being produced by Shelby American today. Classy Place. From what I know of him, Carroll Shelby would be proud. Post Script - Jim referred me to a book that details America's foray into International Endurance racing "Go Like Hell" by A.J. Baime 2009. Available on Kindle and in Paperback on, where else? I just finished it.
