I met Carroll at the old Grand Prix restaurant one evening and talked to him. I brought invoices of what AC Bristols cost with me, and I knew pretty well what engines and transmissions cost. We just subtracted put the price of the engine and gearbox and estimated what the rolling chassis would cost. Carroll told me of his plan and I remember thinking, as we left the restaurant, \u2018There\u2019s no way Shelby\u2019s ever going to put that thing to together!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Carroll Shelby did in fact pull that deal together and when he did one of the first people he wanted to try the car was Spencer. Spencer was a co-driver with Phil Hill and Ken Miles, in the 1962 12 Hours of Sebring, where the trio finished 11<sup>th<\/sup>. Interestingly, Spencer also co-drove the factory Triumph TR4 entry at Sebring with Tullius and Kellner finishing in 35<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>place. The balance of Spencer\u2019s 1963 season was a busy one with him competing in 17 races in either the Cobra or his Baby Doll Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KlmOoDWeYgM<\/p>\n<p>For 1964, Spencer drove the Cobra Daytona Coupe at Daytona, and a roadster at Sebring and Riverside, but devoted the balance of his year to driving the Shelby teams new Sunbeam Tiger, which Spencer categorized as, \u201c\u2026not my most pleasant experience.\u201d In 1965, Spencer again raced the Daytona Coupe, this time at Sebring as well as a handful of races in the new GT350 and Cobra roadster, before transitioning into a management role first at Shelby, then at Ford.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer would become the team manager for Shelby\u2019s new Trans-Am operation in 1966 and would run that program until it was ended in 1969. Spencer would go on to manage the BFG Trans-Am team in 1970-1971, before transitioning into other work.<\/p>\n<p>From of all of us at Vintage Road &amp; Racecar we extend our deepest sympathies to Spencer\u2019s family and friends throughout the racing world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 20, legendary West Coast Morgan and Cobra racer J.
