Caroll Shelby Passes Away at 89

  Thursday was a sad day for the auto industry and auto enthusiasts. A legend has passed away. The Legendary Carrol Shelby, who was a retired race car driver and active auto designer passed away on Thursday from Heart Failure at 89. His influence and work in the auto industry will forever be remembered for bringing us, the Shelby Cobra, The Shelby GT500 Mustang, GT350 Mustang, GTH Mustang, and his help in the design of the original Dodge Viper. He will never be forgotten. Sadly he had a heart problem his whole life and won the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1959 having nitroglycerine pills under his tongue. The Ford Motor Company will sadly miss his help with their partnership together. His Mustang will probably still be made. He is with the motor gods now. Rest In Peace Carrol Shelby
