Probably the single biggest influence in the history of High Performance automobiles!
One of my personal heroes.

We are a little less blessed today than we have been for the last 89 years.

Rest In Piece Mr. Shelby, Racer, designer, engineer, builder, innovator....and chicken farmer!
Bert stole my cookies!!
 I think he used them to bribe Ed into something naughty?

He had a good long run. I hope that I too can live to that age and still be as enthusiastic about what I do.

I agree with all that has been said here. I am a Ford guy but no matter what brand you like you had to respect the man who controlled the meanest snakes to roam the streets and tracks. On to the racing in the heavens, God speed Carroll.
