I'm thinking that the additional $18 of his asking price must be for the "free" copy of the book that he's including in the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it is. I didn't put two and two together on that one. By the way, I'm sure he's done this before. I recall seeing exactly the same thing a few years ago, but I think his new price comes closer to dropping a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Isn't there someone who is actually doing a Movie about Carroll Shelby's life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Isn't there someone who is actually doing a Movie about Carroll Shelby's life? Yes, "Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans" by AJ Baime was optioned, and supposedly had a producer and director, with a rumor that Tom Cruise would be cast as Carroll, but nothing has happened for over two years.

07shelbygt/sc1904 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Oh God, I hope Tom cruise doesn't play Carroll or out of principle I will never be able to watch it. Otherwise I can't wait to see a Carroll Shelby movie and I love the working title. I could just see it now movie theaters everywhere with posters "Ferrari's ass is mine!"
