RIP to a racing legend and a man that made the Mustang more than just a secretary's car!

 

Sad. Hope it was painless.

 

Salute, thank you for all you have done.

 

R.I.P Mr. Shelby. Thank you for everything you've contributed to the industry. You will be greatly missed.

 

I heard today he's had an artificial heart for about 20 years. Isn't that some kind of record?

 

Heart transplant, not artificial.

Also, via the NYT article:

Shelby underwent a heart transplant in 1990. A year later he founded the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation, now known as the Carroll Shelby Foundation, which originally financed organ transplants for children, then expanded to provide educational assistance for young people.

While some would question his business dealings in his later years, his overall contribution to motorsports and the auto industry and particularly Ford and the Mustang... is undeniable.

May he RIP.

 

RIP Carroll.

 

 

its sunny outside but in my heart its rainy and overcast after i read this

 

Legend.

 

He really was a giant and will be greatly missed. I'm so bummed out about this.

 

I teared up a little bit

 

That might throw a monkey wrench on Ford's next gen high performance model name, perhaps bad news for those seeking the '13 GT500, and greedy Ford dealers will likely attempt to cash in on his departure.

RIP Mr Shelby.

 

May 11th should now be a national day of mustang hooning in his honor. Rubber smelled round the world.

 

He died yesterday the 10th

 

Then May 10th it is!

 

RIP. You will be missed.

 

DANGITT!

 

Omg Al I almost did the same thing in each thread but on a windows phone that would suck!

RIP SHELBY!
