An innovator and legend is gone.
Not much else to say as his cars speak volumes.
Goodbye and rest in peace.

My dad had a 68 Shelby Cobra GT500 just like Eleanor in "Gone in 60 Seconds", except red. The B31 of cars, only about 130 mph faster! Cost about the same when new also.

Drove a '65 GT 350 for years. Wish I had one now. Still think the GT 40 is one of the handsomest cars ever.
When mentioning Carroll's stats how about seven wives. No wonder he needed a heart transplant!

I've been a huge fan of the Shelby Cobra since I got the matchbox car as a small child. I have never had the pleasure to drive one, recently found out one of the guys in my church has a kit car and I can't wait to see it.
RIP.

I used to have a boss that was into old cars. back in the early 80's he told me he could find me a 69 Shelby cheap, but I never took him up on it. I still kick myself for that decision.
Now, a true master is gone. Kids today will never understand what he did or will be able to appreciate it.
