schmuckingham Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 From the original Shelby Cobra, to the Shelby Mopars, and the newer Shelby Stangs this guy was an automotive legend. http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2012/05/legendary-racer-car-builder-ca.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Wow, a real American legend. Tell you what I thought of him, my daughter's name is Katelyn Shelby Cordell. He was such an interesting car guy, I loved an interveiw I saw where he was asked how he designed the body of the Cobra, and he said something along the lines of "I didn't design that body, Goodyear designed that body, I just kept working those fenders until they fit" He is also quoted as saying "If you don't go do what you wanna do, you're just bullshitting yourself." RIP, one of my heros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
