Shelby Mustang Fifty Years

Hands down, this is the seminal book on the subject.To me, Comer's book shines so brightly for a few main reasons:1 - He's one of - if not the - preeminent authority on all things Shelby. Prior to becoming an author, Colin made his living for years buying, selling, driving, and restoring vintage automobiles - especially Shelbys. He has likely owned and been literally hands-on with nearly ever car he discusses in the book. Additionally, he has personal relationships with nearly every Ford icon that is part of Ford's illustrious racing heritage, both living and passed. And he shares all this in his book.2 - This isn't his first book. And he isn't working with some penny-ante outfit publisher. The book is as nice looking as any book on your coffee table, and his writing is great. He speaks with a conversational but clearly educated voice. The content is accessible by all generations and all degrees of Shelby enthusiasm. He isn't practicing how to write here - he's already figured it out.3 - It doesn't try to do too much. In other words, this is part of a series of Shelby works. Instead of trying to cover all Shelby bases, Comer puts boundaries of the Shelby Mustang on his work, and therefore doesn't wander like a lot of lesser auto-books do.4 - It's a great mix of stunning pictures and informed prose. Again, whether you're buying it for the pretty photos of incredible cars or a verbal summary of all their little-known quirks, history, and details - you won't be disappointed.5 - The timing is perfect. With both the unfortunate passing of the iconic Texan that changed our culture and the 50 year milestone of the original Shelby Mustang, Comer picked the perfect time for this book. If you are thinking about purchasing it, you don't have to fret about Ford building another mustang that has Shelby's fingerprints on it a year from now and not being covered by the book you just bought.Again, this book is not only good and worth the price - it's better than you hope it is.

My dad over this book This is perfect for a Mustang enthusiastic man.

I bought this book for my Father for Christmas and he adored it! The pictures are very colorful, bright, and clear. The layout of the book is great too. It goes into detail about each model from the first to the last. The articles are perfect sizes for a trip to the joe. He read an article a day and finished the book relatively quickly. This book is a great read for anyone who loves cars- especially Shelby Mustangs!

I've owned many Ford Mustangs over the years and it's fascinating to read about all the contributions that Shelby made to the development of the definitive "pony car" over the years.

This book is pretty amazing for the price. It was the perfect present for a Shelby enthusiast who has it all.

Great book, has every Shelby Mustang from 1965-2014 and great info on all of them. Excellent photos and quality as you'd expect from something licensed as an official Carroll Shelby product. I'm a hard guy to impress and this book exceeded my expectations. If you consider yourself a Shelby person or a fan of classic cars, you have to get this book.

A great book! I got this for my brother who owns a Shelby Mustang as of a month ago. He really likes it too!

I have several Mustang, Shelby and Cobra books by this author that I love. This book is up to the quality of the others he has written. The text and photos tell the story of the original Pony Car. Well woth buying
