Carroll Shelby Just Died.


Recommended Posts

RIP Carrol Shelby

I thought Jim Hall was more of a innovator, but there's no denying that Shebly turned out some of the best performance cars in the world.

I was talking with Lee Holman several eyars ago. He had 2 new Cobra's in his shop he was finishing up. (In case you don't know it, Carrol Shelby may have oversaw the design of the GT-40's, but it was Holman and Moody here in Charlotte that bulit them, that kicked Enzo's A$$! That was after Ford was all set to by Ferrari back in the 60's. Enzo stepped in at the last minute and said that Farrari was never going to be owned by some cheap car company! (Wrong thing to say to Henry Ford!))

The Cobra's Lee had were built in Praugue. He said that Shebly said they were poor imitations of his original Cobra's. That was, until Carroll Shelby bought the company and continued numbering the chassis' with the original Cobra frame numbers.
