ilmor Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 One thing is for certain today - I will be driving my Shelby GT anywhere & everywhere I go in memory of Carroll Shelby. I don't expect to see any others around where I live, although I sure hope I do, but I sure hope there are a bunch on the roads across the USA and world.

John Canfield Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Although I've never been in a position to put a snake in my garage, not only will my Mach 1s ride today be in tribute to him but so will the get together I'm attending locally that's been in th works for many months. Know that everyone there will feel the same. That is his legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verlyn12 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Drove 150 mi to Rapid City SD yesterday with the 2012 500. Only saw one other Shelby near Belle Fourche. There aren't many in the area but maybe will see more in the Hills area today. RIP Mr. Shelby. Your cars have been part of our world since our high school yearsin he mid 60s Legends will always live on and your legacy most certainly will.

ilmor Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Horn blowing? I think smokey burnouts would be more in order. That's a great idea except where I live I would expect an officer and a ticket w/in moments of doing so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoggiebhr Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 SGT1097 was out early this morning, at a car show at Ken Cox Ford in Troy Alabama. Then driven back home in pouring rain, and will be driven again tonight, and tomorrow, and so on until either it or me falls. RIP Carroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 When I heard of his passing I taped his picture to my rear window and drove my GT500 around on Friday and today, I will drive him around on Sunday as well, I may have his picture airbrushed some where on the car have to look into that with a few shops and see if they can do a good job of it.

John Canfield Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 This was a little get together I attended today. It was actually planned long before the passing of Mr. Shelby on Thursday. It was nice to get to spend time with both friends old and new talking about all things Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnrehder Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 We had a bunch of them at our Georgia Regional Mustang Club show at Hardy Ford in Dallas, GA today! I think we had about 7 or 8 including a rare GT500SE 427 edition number 7. Owned by a guy who's last name is Shelby, really! He owns a bunch of them. Had a great time today.

John Canfield Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Looking good; great pic. Thanks. The weather was supposed to be really aweful, but everyone still showed up coming from over from up to 4 hours away. I think 'someone' out in a good word for us with the 'man' upstairs.
