octaviusc Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Heard he actually passed away last night and they announced the news today. I have to wonder how this will change things at SAI if at all, sad to hear as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 The loss of a Legend, an Icon in the automotive world. Before SVT, before Mustang, the Man who put a Cobra on a car. He will be missed. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goats4ever Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Mr. Shelby was an ultra rare breed in the automotive world. I have never heard a bad word from anyone about him. He was a true gentleman and a very generous person who when he received a heart from a young donor; this began his quest to build his charity foundation. At least he was able to see his fruits of labor with the charity foundation and the Shelby cars that are a rare breed and a treasure to behold. He was instrumental in lobbying with Ford to produce the 2013 650 HP Shelby GT500 to production. I think SAI will remain a viable entity for a while, but without the "man" alive to guide this ultra unique enterprise, I think it will fade away sooner than later. I for one bought my 427 NASCAR Super Snake, for the primary reason Mr. Shelby envisioned and endorsed the car. Without him alive,I don't think any car built at SAI will be of the same prominence. I could be wrong, only time will tell. Mr. Shelby is in a better world now, and will be missed by all. His name will live forever at the top along with a few other great Muscle Car icons. Semper Fidelis Mr. Shelby, and may you rest in peace, and my prayers are with your family and your charity foundation that it may live forever.
