The automotive world lost an icon when Carroll Shelby passed away yesterday evening at the age of 89 following complications from an illness. We here at Speedhunters have had the chance to work with Shelby and his company on a few different occasions and are extremely saddened to hear of his loss.
Whether it was his famous Cobras, the way he helped Ford bring the fight to Ferrari at Le Mans, or the many high performance Mustangs he’s built over the years – there are few who have contributed more to our world of cars and motorsport than Shelby did.
The man may be gone, but his accomplishments will live forever.
