Years ago I met Carrol Shelby at a Shelby meet in Tulsa Oklahoma he was a nice guy and I got his autograph. He was the real deal.

Over the years since 1975 I have owned 5 Shelby Mustangs ranging from My first one a GT500KR fastback to the 1966 GT350 that I still have. I just might get it out this weekend and raise a little hell with it in his honor.

Rest in peace Carrol.You will be missed.:(

A true legend in a sport where that word is thrown around loosely.

The next Barrett-Jackson auction should be very interesting when one of his cars goes on the block!!

Another business that he got involved with was buying a motel
on the South shore of Lake Tahoe back in the mid sixties... nice little motor on inn, but a dive by today’s standards.

You might remember it Jim... on Highway 50, West side of the road near the Bijou/Stateline border!

I used to drool when some of those cobras would gather there on a run!

If there was any name that the legendary Enzo Ferrari (who founded the famous sports car company named after him) cursed, it was Carroll Shelby. The AC Cobra, the Shelby Daytona coupe, and the Shelby-maintained Ford GT40’s pretty much ended Ferrari’s nearly-hammerlock reign in sports car racing in the 1960’s.

I saw an interview with Edsel Ford II on Carroll Shelby talking about how Shelby and Henry Ford II teamed up to win Le Mans back in the 1960’s.
Ford could not stand it they could not get any respect so he got Shelby on board to do whatever it took to win to beat Porche and Ferrari.
Edsel Ford said Ford Motor Company spent something like $200 Million in 1960’s Dollars to do it.
Lord what is that now in today's money.
Of course Henry Ford II ruled the roost then and whatever he said went.

I had a Ford GT slot car back in the sixties—I kicked butt.
