I must admit I dodn't expect to see him mentioned here as he had no audio connection. However, he was an icon in the performance segment of the auto/racing industry. His vison and ability to respond to the performance market was unmatched by anyone that comes to mind. The AC Bristol Cobra is a long time dream car of mine and his legacy for sure. I will always remember the Playboy article "Charmed by a Snake" (which may be the only article I really did read)as a inspiration for the recurring dream of owning one of these beasts of the road. He will surely be missed and a point of reference in the years to come whenever high performance is mentioned. But as far as music goes, the sound of side pipes on 427 SOHC at full acceleration is an orchestration of a spine tingleing harmony I dearly love. And also my sympathies to the Shelby family and the auto industry.
No mention of Carroll Shelby passing?
I must admit while cruising another audio site I came across Shelby's passing.
I must be under a rock.
Searched here for what others had to say but found nothing.
I figured with discussion of best cigars, liquors, cars there would be some mention. Certainly an American automotive icon.
His contributions to the automotive world will be missed. Condolences to his family.
