The Car That Broke Carroll Shelby – Grudge Races

In the mid-1960s, Carroll Shelby teamed up with Alejandro de Tomaso to build a car so radical it could have reshaped American motorsport. The result was the De Tomaso P70—an experimental Can-Am racer designed by Peter Brock and built with Italian flair. But instead of glory, it sparked a bitter feud, a failed dream, and a hidden legend.

This is the untold story of the P70—the car that ended a partnership, inspired a grudge, and disappeared for decades.

-Built to challenge McLaren
