A propos de cet article

Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009. SIGNED on the title page by 8 racing team drivers / mechanics / engineers -- all or mostly from the Shelby American team: Dan Gerber, Allan Grant, Phil Remington, Gene Crowe, Bob Bondurant, Tom Yeager, [Lynwood] Walt Hare and [illegible first name] Caldwell [?]. SEE OUR PHOTOS. Some of these signatures are difficult to read. Please email to correct me if have any wrong. Gerber and Grant were closely associated with the Shelby American racing team and the development of the Shelby Cobra. Remington was the genius fabricator and Carroll Shelby's chief engineer. Crowe was the technially brilliant crew chief and mechanic with the Shelby American team. World class driver Bob Bondurant was a pivotable figure and technical expert for Carroll Shelby. He later trained Christian Bale for his acting role as Ken Miles in FORD VS FERRARI. Starting in 1965 Yeager raced the new Shelby GT350R for Carroll Shelby, and in 1996 was named Driver of the Year. This book is the BASIS for the film FORD VS FERRARI. Fine condition in a bright and shiny Fine dust jacket. NO chips, tears, creases or fading. NOT price clipped ($26.00). Square and tight. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked -- apparently seldom, if ever read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. We have only this one copy, but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson, Nevada. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos, some in full color. Index. Bound in the original black boards with a gilt-stamped gray spine. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "By the early 1960s, Ford Motor Company, built to bring automobile transportation to the masses, was falling behind. Baby boomers were taking to the roads in droves, looking for speed not safety, style not comfort, and Ford didnât offer what these young drivers wanted. Meanwhile, Enzo Ferrari lorded over the European racing scene, crafting beautiful, fast sports cars that epitomized style. Baime tells the remarkable story of how Henry Ford II, with the help of a young visionary named Lee Iacocca and a former racing champion turned engineer named Carroll Shelby, concocted a scheme to reinvent the Ford company. They would enter the high-stakes world of European car racing, where an adventurous few threw safety and sanity to the wind. They would design, build, and race a car that could beat Ferrari at his own game, at the most prestigious and dangerous race in the world, the 24 Hours of LeMans. Go Like Hell transports readers to a golden era in racing when Ford's innovative strategy led to victories on the track and renewed respect for the American automobile.". SIGNED on title page by Shelby team members. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. xvi, 304pp. + 8 plates.

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
