Carroll Shelby

[T.Baggins]

"Carroll Hall Shelby, the man who created the famous Shelby Cobra and uncounted other high-performance machines that have enlivened -- and in some cases revolutionized -- the auto world for 50 years, died Thursday night in Dallas at age 89. He had been hospitalized for pneumonia and his death was announced today by his company, Shelby American."

aww that sucks. he was one of my Dad's customers and automotive art providers for like 20 years. He was really nice guy when I was a kid he always brought me cobra memorabilia. Let my dad take me in rides in the cool classic cobras and stuff too. fond memories of that gentleman.

89 is good though he lived 22 years with a heart transplant.

ill never forget my first and only ride in a shelby GT 500....i was 15 and my friend put a 100 dollar bill on the dash and said if i can grab it within 10 seconds of taking off it was mine...need less to say i didnt even come close to grabbing it. front wheels came off the ground and i almost flipped over into the back seat.

The sound of one of those machines, just idling, makes my hairs stand straight up. then open up the throttle.
