Carrol Shelby dies in Dallas at the age of 89. What a legend he was. He wasn't a hot rodder per sey but he knew how to make hot cars. R. I.P. keep speeding!!!
He was truely a pioneer in the automotive industry, Doc. Traditional hot rodder? No, but a legend none the less! Rest in peace...
Look at a cobra and tell me that guy wasnt a hot rodder. He was a true legend and will never be forgotten.
He will always be special to all of us. R.I.P. Thanks for all you did for us and hot rodding!!!!! You will be missed!
Longest surviving heart transplant patient in history, medical miracle in many ways that paved the path for others in ways other than automotive, God Speed
Prayers going out to his family and friends. Thanks for all the automotive memories, Rest in Peace. Bob
no mold ever held him....yea, he was the ULTIMATE hot rodder. Prayers to his family and his many many friends. God Speed, Carroll.
Carrol was a true Hotrodder and a legend in motor sports. He will be missed. I thought it was cool that in the old days he used to race in the same striped overalls that he wore on his chicken farm. He was an inovator in many areas. Beating Europes best on their own turf then building the finest race cars of the day. I'm not a Ford man but he won my respect in many ways.
RIP. Lived a long full life, 2 heart transplants. Anybody that lives to 89 and accomplished what he did will be remembered. Ago
Truly another legend is lost forever. I hope the car that wears his name will still continue on. RIP Shelby
