Default 'Holman-Moody' building to be razed to make way for Charlotte Douglas International expansion



http://www.charlotte.com/mld/c...8.htm

For all of you anti-Nascar people...
"By 1966, Ford had two teams, one run by Carroll Shelby and the other by Holman-Moody. Holman-Moody cars finished third in 24-hour races at Daytona and LeMans in 1966 and second at Sebring, with A.J. Foyt as one of the drivers, the next year."

Thanks for the memory. I still have a cutaway drawing of David Pearson's car and some other things. Can't remember if I've kept a letter from H&M about a parts order in the 60's for our GT-350. But even if it is lost-I will fondly remember the effort of the people there. They are world famous in motorsports of various types and that is good for us.

Nice read.
hmm... maybe I should trade the XR4 in on an authentic GT-40.
