Very sad to see that Carroll Shelby has passed! He was and always will be one of my favorite automotive heros. The King of muscle cars! When you think of a hopped up Mustang or see a Cobra going down the road for that matter, you immediately think of Shelby.

I sure hope the Shelby Automotive Company carries on his tradition in a way that we would deem acceptable to him.

Yes, just heard of his death a short while ago.

He put us back on the map of international racing. And he did it with a budget that most any racing enthusiasts could afford.

Love the pictures, Austen!

Type of guy in his field that there will never be anyone come along to really replace him.
