 It sounds like you're asking what computer Caroll Shelby used?
As I understand it Ford built the cars then they were modified
at Shelby's company, Shelby American, in L.A. You might try asking
the Los Angeles Shelby American Automobile Club,http://www.lasaac.org/
or ask at Carroll Shelby official web page,http://www.carrollshelby.com/
