The real reason why Shelby agreed to help Ford get the Mustang ready for SCCA Trans Am was because he felt obligated as a thank you for the financial support he’d received from Ford for his Cobra program, after Chevrolet had turned him down. Originally Ford had gone to the SCCA and requested some rule changes which the SCCA had refused. Shelby had a good relationship with the SCCA.
