Dano Posted May 12, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 12, 2012 Considering him one of the Fathers of modern horsepower and racing, just think of the Shelby he built in his garage back in 59 or 60 before they became popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin-vic-b.c. Posted May 12, 2012 Share #8 Posted May 12, 2012 What a legend! He sure made them Fords sing! And look good doing it! RIP, Mr. Shelby. Darn! He made more than just Fords sing but yes that was the largest part of his life. What ever that man touched sang and sang loud. Definitely a huge influence in what we all drove.

Condor Posted May 12, 2012 Share #11 Posted May 12, 2012 He usually shows up at the Barret Jackson Auctions throughout the year. The last one he was sick and didn't make it.... He will be missed. Talk about leaving a legacy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
