[dogg57]

Another Great man leaves us.Carroll Hall Shelby, the Texan who created the famous Shelby Cobra and uncounted other high-performance machines that have enlivened -- and in some cases revolutionized -- the auto world for 50 years, died Thursday night in Dallas at age 89. He had been hospitalized for pneumonia and his death was announced today by his company, Shelby American.

The consumate salesman; heart transplant, liver transplant and he was still driving 800hp cars at 89.

Any fans of Shelby might consider a trip to the Simeone Foundation Museum in Philly; go on a demo day and see them come to life instead of sitting behind velvet ropes.

All designed, built and campaigned by Shelby Racing.
