Saw him many times at Jackson Barrett and at a local Shelby show in Texas once.

Damn!

Didnt he still manually sign each GT500 that came off the line??

edit: He only signed the Shelby GT but GT500 owners could order the plaque with his real signature after a donation to his childrens charity.

I met Mr. Shelby once in Detroit. He was very approachable when he wasn't busy. I will always remember the story of him building a car for Bill Cosby. I'm gonna buy me one of those hats now. He will be missed. RIP Sir!

Sad day in the auto world. Last of the great legends in Racing & the car biz. From the Cobra to the Viper, he has played a big part in history. Ford & even Dodge owes a lot to the guy. My Cobrastars are sheding tears today.....

Sad day in Dallas and the rest of the world. Though he lived here, I never had the privilege to meet him. The auto world lost an important figure today.
