The Shelby American LAX shops at the Los Angeles International Airport were a busy place during the years that followed Shelby’s move to the hangars in January of 1965. At this 12 acre location, Carroll Shelby produced some of the most memorable cars in automotive history - both 289 and 427 Cobras, the Mustang GT-350 and the GT-350H. This location also produced the Ford X-1 Roadster #1 that will win the Sebring race in the second week of March, 1966, driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby, as well as the #2 GT40 MKII. Dan Gurney would end up pushing the #2 across the finish line at Sebring after its engine seized on the last lap while leading the race. Gurney and co-driver Jerry Grant were disqualified.
The LAX facility closed in November 1967 when the production of the Shelby Mustang was moved to Michigan.Â
