Bart was a good neighbor- I miss not having him around

It's a beauty.

Great seeing Gary recite midget history and some of the stories I had heard from none other than Gary's dad, Gordon, over 40 years ago! I knew the Schroeders pretty well. Allen, myself, Eric Anderson, Mike Stein and Jon Peters would race around their property on our mini enduros and xr75's! Went to more than a couple of the BBQ's (I believe it was actually a yearly Gilmore or some kind of 'midget' racer get together) at their home in the Hollywood Hills. Gary's room above the garage which also had a GT40 (yes, a real one) always intrigued me as it had a spiral stair case which wound 'down' into the garage. Real neat! Attended Hollywood High school (as did Gary and his brother Allen). Used to talk to Carmen a LOT when I'd show up to speak to Allen and he wasn't there. The Schroeder family were genuinely 'nice' people. Gordon was never short on time when I 'talked cars', nor was Carmen for that matter. Thanks for this

The license plate had me for a second, not going to lie

Este es el carro cupe del legendario yon miller rebelde de carretera mecánico i competidor de piques

Are these the actual cars used in the movie?

awesome thank you for sharing

You guys need the cop car with the rear end yanked out of it !!! Lol

We were still cruising McHenry in late 80’s and early 90’s, then going out and racing on California street afterwards. Miss those days, felt like I was free.

Falfas 55💪🏾👌🏾

An absolutely outstanding video. Thanks SO much for this.

Greatly appreciate more truths on the history...Hollywood bs aside....always had an understanding of the racing concept but more American auto...nevertheless....

Arizona needs to partner with its neighboring states of CA,NV,NM,TX,CO,UT in developing a Los Angeles-Palm Springs-Yuma-Phoenix-Tucson-El Paso corridor as I-10 not only in the Los Angeles metro area is congested to the max, but also in the Phoenix Metro areA and between Phoenix & Tucson needs to be widened as it is busy. High speed rail and passenger train service is needed.

Great video of the California High Speed Rail line. Very impressive, investment in high speed rail makes sense, provides jobs, gives people a travel choice. With the very high price of gas high speed rail will only be very beneficial in the long run. I travel by Amtrak when I’m home in the San Diego area from San Diego to Los Angeles & Oxnard alternating my visits between Los Angeles & Oxnard, CA when I travel on the Pacific Surfliner. I also travel long distance by Amtrak as flying domestically is a hassle & a drudgery.

Just a great story to hear and thanks for posting. fills in a lot of the blanks and a good video to refer to all the so called experts who read about these days from books, Like myself, LO

Hmmm…George Lucas? ….a Yellow car?….ua-cam.com/video/5WPnP1PUyys/v-deo.html

thank you Allen for the truth about Ken Miles, Hollywood can't tell the truth about anything, the true story would have been just as exciting without the lies and disrespect to real men who were true heros.

Being from CA it’s cool to hear him talking about familiar places and towns!

Yeahhhhh....uuuummmm...it's pretty, but it's not the prettiest racing Cobra ever......great video though!!

The movie " Ferrari vs Ford" was a big disappointment to those that know.

Is he talking about George Lucas the filmmaker?

Thank you for this video. Allen Grant, Carrol Shelby, Ken Miles, Phil Remington, Carrol Smith, Peter Brock, Jim Clark, and many others of that era, were among my hero's as I grew from pre-teen to young adult. They still influence my life today. No head-banging music, no over the top graphics, no fake drama, just a great, factual video.

Watch the Jay Leno tribute to Phil Hill. It’s very touching.

Its crazy all the greats were together. Too bad about Richie. He didn’t have a great life. The rest of them seemed to do well in life.

My dad was Gene Simms y'all probably knew each other. I knew Louie, awesome trip back in time, thanks

Allen's thought's on "Ford vs Ferrari" are exactly what I thought about the movie while watching it the first time and wishing it had been more historically accurate instead of a made for Hollywood movie . It is also great to hear about Allen's early days growing up and his stories that a lot of us can relate to, from lowering your first car just because it looks cool to doing something new to your car and then driving past a shopping area with a lot of big windows just too see yourself..... been there done that.I really like what he say's about Phil Remington as I am sure everyone that knew Rem appreciates those words .

I remember seeing the race results from the early Cobra days and eventually knowing who Ken Miles and Bob Bondurant we're and of course recognizing Fan Gurney, but Allen Grant was always a mystery but obviously as equally accomplished as the others. Thank you for the great interview with this man.

wonderful storytelling! subscribed !

A few years back, I attended a Cobra meet at Allen Grants race shop in Port Angeles, Washington and met Allen and Peter Brock as well who had a short talk about old times and the making of the Daytona. Lots of Cobras and few coupes, one from Superformance that Peter also had a hand in designing. A couple years later at Portland international raceway during a vintage race there Allen was racing his yellow Cobra ( a different one than the one he raced in the 1960's but painted the same) and he bent it slightly during the race.Allen said this was the first time he ever bent his Cobra. His original yellow Cobra he campaigned in the day turned out to have the winningest history and he sold it for something past 2 million. Allen also had a 1963 Lola GT (silver and seen on Jay Leno's place ) he was restoring there near completion. Fun times !!!!

When I took my wife and two daughters to see Ford v Ferrari they absolutely loved the movie and literally were in tears at the end. Knowing that movie drama was added captured 19 and 24 year old young ladies to love auto racing and the excitement it provides. Thank you to all these great gentlemen who brought the fantastic and exciting memories!!

Why is there an engine idling during the whole interview?????????????

What a great story. I don't remember hearing of Alan Grant before but maybe I just never paid much attention... what a shame. And how many people think of Lucas as a crew chief? The book: Go Like Hell, gives a more accurate story of Ford vs Ferrari than the movie but the imaginary scene of H.F.2 being driven by Shelby (who didn't drive Ford) is worth the price of admission

shows like this do NOT represent what real car enthusiasts of "the age" were really like, instead they represent what the Hollywood Scene (movie pictures) did TO the idea via phony "older people" concepts based upon their own ideas of what "would be" cool were they to have "their way" ... ie, all kinds of gaudy accessories added on, like little (and large) "chrome accessories", hubcaps, horns, do-dads, just extra trim added wherever it could be tacked on, the more the better (as far as they were concerned) ... while the true enthusiasts, the real people that were actually involved rather than the wannabees hangers-on types, were more "minimalist", strip it down to bare necessities, less was better (and truer for people that sought "performance" rather than glitz and glitter) ... the real versus the hollywood picture ... the latter reminds me of the silly "beach-party" scenarios and other cookie-cutter contrivances that never ever really happened in the day, but seemed "the norm "afterward" by the johnny and betty "come latelies" that NEVER lived it except thorough their "imaginations" provided by the movies ... fake and phony BS! IMnsHO and E so far.

Thanks for doing this! This train is very important to my family as we are spread from Tulare to Orange County. Please keep up the good work!

Consequently played a large role in his life.

I recently met Mr Grant at the Shelby Museum in Boulder where he was a guest. Was a memory I will cherish.. He is a fine man

What a load.

Amazing video thank you for sharing this history

I’m 80 and I am very familiar whit that period. Watched a drag race at Bridghampton (NY) between Shelby in a “automatic” Cobra and Miles in a manual Cobra, the boss won. I agree Hollywood always adds their BS to their products.

What's the address

This is a huge project and is needed to allow us to live far from where we work. I grew up in Merced in the late 60's and early 70's. California is leading the way (again). We will be able to meet and talk face-to-face. Meetings that are vital for businesses and essential for higher academics.

This is exactly what makes UA-cam great! What a thrill to listen to Allen tell his story of this amazing time in history! Big names and big adventures!

What a big boondoggle waste of taxpayers money to help the rich politicians get richer.

At 2:45 is that the Union Pacific track or HSR?

Great video

This will probably never be finished, cost overruns and bad planning will prevent it. If it was economically viable it would be done by private industry.

Knowing his ‘32 roadster, of course, it was just very recently that I discovered Doane Spencer also built a T-Bird. 😮 I really like the more masculine touch he added to the car, so now I’m seriously considering building a Spencer-inspired early bird. Thanks for the inspiring and insightful interviews and close-up shots of the car.

I would laugh if the technology fails

Someone should drive me

Then work with china to build your trains or have the Japanese build it
