        rip.

        he took a pile of crap and made something out of it.

        imagine getting an entirely different heart..and then living to be the oldest ever, after living a demanding physical life.

        very tough, and legend in more than one way.

            Sad news.

            I went to Las Vegas this week for a Prowler get together with my wife...Wednesday we visited Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and got a tour of the Shelby facility.

                I just love how he took the little AC and made it nto the icon it s today...
                I especially love how he spanked the high dollar rides!

                Even if I am not a Ford guy, I still respect Carroll!

                    He was a very needed person in the car world, he kept it going to by others trying to top his automotive accomplishments.
                    Just keep his name alive and he will never be gone!!!!

                        God Speed to one of the most insprational men I've ever met. I worked for Carroll from 1993 till 2003. Some of the best times in the biz.

                                    The ancient egyptians believed that if someone spoke your name after death, you lived again. Carrol Shelby may well live forever!

                                    God Speed Mr. Shelby.
