"This is the Allard J2 that launched Carroll Shelby's racing career. First owner Charles Brown of Louisiana invited Shelby to drive his Cad-Allard at the SCCA-sanctioned Pottsboro Hill climb. While racing J2179 at least three times to victory, it became Shelby's inspiration for the Cobra. J2179 is the last of a total of 90 J2 Allards built. 331 CI Cadillac V-8 engine, triple Stromberg 48 carbs, vintage Weiand intake and Crane Competition camshaft, Ford 3-speed manual transmission. Ordered on August 15, 1951 with special instructions for Black paint, Red Leather upholstery and a 'bulge in the bonnet to take Cadillac'" from here. Ferrari coupe behind?? |
