What fun it would be for George and Peter to reunite on a film project about the early days of the Cobra program. Great human interest from developing paint schemes and attending film school, swimming upstream with the Coupe design and being told by many it won.t work, to attempting to sell American Graffiti to one studio after another. And when funding is finally secured, being abruptly kicked out of a film site because of noisy cars. The results, a World Championship and the highest grossing film of its year. Who better to direct than Ron Howard. more fun than the GT program.
Be an interesting book “Follies I have known that turned out successes” or something like that.
Great idea John!
So very cool!!!!
Love that movie, Reagan wasnt too bad either. I know you know Peter but for those that don’t Peter’s Ford Falcon parts chaser was in the movie too.

Peter,
This is such a great entry! You are movie royalty! I love it! Thanks for sharing your story. Love the part about George Lucas as well.
Wasn’t there also some connection to “Grand Prix” and teaching driving skills to some of the cast?
Hi Bill….It was Bob Bondurant who did much of the teaching to several on the Grand Prix movie. Bob taught for me at Shelby’s race school until Shelby closed the school, and the Cobra program, to concentrate on the GT40s. After the GT40 program shut down, Bob left and started his own school. The rest as they say, is history!
