Shelby’s high-speed crash at Palm Springs in December, resulted in Frank Arciero, a local team boss with a knack for spotting talent, buying the car and he sent the wreck to Jack Sutton, a British aircraft metalworker turned racecar coachbuilder. Sutton’s alloy bodywork gave the Ferrari new life and better handling.
The Sutton-bodied 375 Plus became a fixture at several venues like Pomona, Riverside, Paramount Ranch, and Santa Barbara, scoring six overall victories, raceb my McAfee and Gurney, had multiple second-place finishes, and even an impressive 176.913 mph run at Bonneville with Bob Drake behind the wheel.
