My thanks for the existence of Carroll Shelby..
As I write this I am looking at a framed,autographed photo of the man himself standing next to one of his creations, presented to me by my wife. My venture began in the mid 80's looking for a GT500 I could afford. Of course not realizing the 35 to 50 G's needed at that time would turn into a bunch more today, I turned my attention to the replicas I was hearing about. That led me to purchasing a 63 1/2 Galaxy with a 427 for a super price that was originally a 390 car. Of course I bought it for the motor. The next purchase was a 1987 Shelby American World Registry that began for me a great experience researching the most amazing automobile ever created. Four years ago,upon retirement, I took my punch list of specs to Unique in Gadsden and finally fulfilled my dream with an amazing 427 S/C replica. Thank You Carroll Shelby can not even come close to my gratitude for your existence.
I'm sure on the day God said, "Let there be speed". Carroll Shelby was born.
