Guest Hal Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well, that certainly continues the trend of 2012 destroying the world. He was a visionary and it's very sad that he's gone. What is good, is that his legacy will continue in the hearts and minds of car guys for many years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Heard this earlier. Take a minute to think of the impact that he has had over the last 6-7 decades............To have walked in his shoes for just one day would have been amazing.

craig71188 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 "Legend" is a term so often overused - but a look over the accomplishments of Carol Shelby's life and you will get an idea of what it truely takes to live up to the term. RIP Carol - very few will ever will live up to the term in the automotive world again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sucks to hear and he died on my Birthday... At least I was able to talk with him several times over the years, great guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 The Shelby club down here had a tribute to him by having all the members and fans of Carroll revs there engines at the Pavilions show for about an entire minute, it was pretty cool if you ask me.
