RIP Carroll Shelby
American co-developer of the AC Cobra...
Quote:
Shelby had first taken on the Ferraris and Porsches of the world on their own European sports car racing turf early in the 1960s with his original and now-legendary Cobras -- Shelby's innovative mating a Ford 289 V-8 with a lightweight British AC roadster.

Re: RIP Carroll Shelby
I was only watching a programme with him in it the night before last, and my all time favourite car is the AC Cobra.
I legend in his own right and will be sorely missed no doubt
RIP Mr Shelby, may you ruck up to the pearly gates with the burble of a V8 soundtrack not far behind

I was watching one being auctioned the other night (with a Ferrari ass whooping pedigree) and it fetched over a million U.S. dollars.
I would settle for building my own one day, it's defo on my bucket list.
