It's just now that the news reached me. Four days ago, An American legend, automotive designer, race car driver and the father of Shelby Cobra passed away at age 89.
He has become my favorite racer driver since I started collecting one of his great works, the Shelby Cobra 427.
A tribute to my favorite race car driver.
May you rest in peace God speed, Mr. Shelby.
