We made a horrible decision
with Ken Miles and seeing the three cars
come over exactly together. It was good politically
for Ford, so I couldn't argue with it. Besides that, I worked for Ford, and I'm not gonna go against Henry Ford. Ken ended up
getting cheated out of it. And it broke his heart. I wish Ken Miles had won it
because he earned the win of the race. I've always felt guilty about that,
but you can't change history. That's what happened
and we'll have to live with it. When they win the race,
Henry Ford is asked, "Well, what happens now?" Henry Ford says, "Well, we're gonna
come back next year and do it again." At the latter part of '66, Carroll Shelby, Phil Remington, and the Shelby experts
were making a faster, quicker MKII-B
