{"version":"1.0.0","episode":{"title":"385: Built to Thrill - The Shelby Legacy with Gary Patterson","url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/385-built-to-thrill-the-shelby-legacy-with-gary-patterson","audioUrl":"https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/autosausage/385_Gary_P.mp3?dest-id=1205588","description":"What does it take to preserve a legend like Shelby American while continuing to innovate for the next generation of drivers? In this very special episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Gary Patterson, President of Shelby American, to explore the full throttle story of America's most iconic performance brand. From working alongside Carroll Shelby himself to leading the company into the future with new builds, collector programs, and electric concepts, Gary shares behind-the-scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else. Plus:   A preview of what's next for the Shelby GT lineup  A special spotlight on Shelby's incredible fanbase  And… a personal tribute in the form of my original track: \"Shelby Legacy\" — you'll hear a 30-second teaser at the beginning and the full song at the end of the episode.   This episode is sponsored by our friends at California Car Cover — my go-to source for custom-fit car covers and detailing gear. They've protected both my '66 GTO and Porsche Boxster S, and I trust them to keep your Shelby safe, too.  🔗 Weblinks:   Shelby American: https://www.shelby.com   Shelby Heritage Center: https://www.shelby.com/ShelbyHeritageCenter  Shelby Store: https://www.shelbystore.com  California Car Cover: https://www.calcarcover.com   Shelby Registry: https://www.shelby.com/ShelbyRegistry     #ShelbyAmerican #GaryPatterson #CarrollShelby #MustangShelby #GT500KR #ShelbyCobra #AmericanMuscle #ShelbyGT #CollectorCarPodcast #OctaneFM #ShelbyLegacySong #CaliforniaCarCover #CarCulture #CarPodcast #BuiltToThrill Listen to the \"Octane FM: Shift, Rev, Repeat\" album on Spotify!
