What a great car guy. He will definitely be missed! Not another like him. RIP Mr. Shelby.

We had our club car show today. So in commemoration of Shelby we asked any Shelby product be pulled out of the show and be moved front and center. I didn't get any pictures unfortunately.

We did have 2 GT500s, 1 shelby GT, 1 67 GT350, and 2 shelby kit cars.

EDIT: Here is a pic my friend took, you can't see the Gt350. The blue cobra on the end had 2 paxton superchargers on it.

Velocity Channel ran a 3 hour special on Sunday. I'm sure it'll repeat. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I recorded it. He was a stand up guy who showed you never have to retire from what you love.
