If I remember correctly there were two of those cars, Shelby had one and Bill Cosby had the other.

Why make it an automatic though? That's a bit of a weird one.

On both sides.

I gunned a Shelby up Edm to sell.

They f'ed up. I had to drive it back.

Worst weekend I ever had.

Chrome and shifting into 6.

Pushing yourself and the law.

I won.

i out ran cop...

I won.

Thank you.

Back in 91 my addiction to motorsport was born because of CART. soon after, I learned about Shelby. This is a sad day.

R.I.P. Carroll.

A terrible loss for the gearhead community.

Very cool man.

Was reading that he had a Cobra sell in '07 (I think) for 5.5M which is still a record for an American-made car. That particular car once was his personal car, had over 800hp and would hit 0-60 MPH in just over 3 seconds. Three Seconds! And that car was built over forty years ago!

I drove a Cobra once, scary friken machine but really it was just a go-cart with a V-8. all engine!!

And I think that particular car is now owned by Jay Leno and is one of his many prizes.

I did that for fun 30+ years ago, can't imagine it a possibility today.

The man was responsible for the coolest car in the history of cars:



Nothing more needs be said.
