Indeed sad news.
'been a fan since about '67, age 4. Hooked on cars ever since.
My friends dad had 2 427 Cobras. His mom still has evidence of a scar on her
calf from a hot sidepipe.
Regrettably, he sold both and bought a new '69 427 Vette.
R.I.P. Mr. Shelby

Hard to believe not a single comment about "Ol' Shel," who died Thursday
night.
On topic? The Cobra was a Brit chassis, by AP.
Met him once, during a press tour of his factory in LA. He served up his
famous chili.
Famous in the sports car racing, chicken ranching, chili cooking and medical
worlds (lived 22 years with a heart transplant).
May the road rise up to meet you, Carroll.
