Car Racing Icon Carroll Shelby Has Died


Many of you have heard of the Shelby GT sold by Ford. Older readers will recall the Selby Ford Cobra, one of the fastest street cars ever made. He turned the Ford Mustang, a car he once called a secretaries car, into one of the most popular street cars of the 1960s.

Shelby passed away a couple of days ago. I read his obituary and found he was an amazing man who led a very full and productive life.

He did more than mare car racing, more than build high performance street cars. I see his life as a great example of what you can do if you don't set limits on yourself.
Use the link below to read his obituary and you will see some of the records he has set outside thw orld of car racing.
