The man really and truly has/had great visions where the automobile was cocerned. Where we we be without his nuts and bolts approach?? R I P Mr Shelby. RIDE SAFE.

There is a man who will truly be missed by the auto racing community. His styling ideas and mechanical abilities were second to none.

     RIP Carroll.

RIP MR Shelby.

I met this gentleman several years ago when I worked part time for a Ford Dealership.  This dealership sold a lot of Shelby Cobra's, and he came by to honor the dealer for his effort.

Very nice guy.....

RIP, He made a lot of money for himself and for Ford, gave us all several great performance cars, a real icon..  Hoser

Bummer....He was responsible for some very cool cars.... The only ford powered  stuff I would think of having in my garage he had a hand in.

Really sad.
The guy brought some pride to American auto racing, and pissed off Enzo Ferrari using simple ingenuity.
A true American hero has left us.

He was a one tough guy.
He was a fellow heart transplant recipient.
and will be missed!

Shelby was a TRUE living legend.  His name was synonymous with performance.

Well said George. I have always loved the way he kicked the elitiests asses.

He made my all time favorite car. A.C. Shelby Cobra! What a beast that was!!

[thumper]

I think the Shelby Cobra Mustangs are some of the most beautiful muscle cars ever made.

The guy change the face of racing forever.

Thanks man!

I use to race a '65 Sumbeam Tiger which was a car Shelby helped develop. My dream machine was a 289 Cobra but never owned. All great things must pass. I knew this day would come. His presence will be missed.

One of my heros is gone.
Long live his automotive legacy.

I KNEW there was a reason I liked you! That 289 was mine, also! Always thought the 427 was a bad weight ratio, overkill and all that.

Amen to that, bet the races up there are awsome!
