Never met the man but back on 2000 I took a tour of the Shelby plant in Vegas.









RIP Mr Shelby

And right after the ford Shelby GT 1000 mustang supposed to break 200... that's just sad. RIP to probably the most innovative name in cars without him we wouldn't have the muscle cars we have today.

There's a fistfight in heaven, Carroll vs Enzo.

Sad to see him go.

If God ain't driving one, he's now got one of the best wheelmen ever created to burn the tires off of it for him
