I remember the first time I became aware of Shelby. I was in high school (didn't even have a drivers permit yet) and a rich friend of my brother's came over to show us the car his dad leased for him to use during the summer; a Ford Mustang GT 350 H !!! I couldn't believe the speed of this car as I sat in the back underneath the roll bar!! I was in love!!! It was hard to believe that you could actually rent a car like that. If I had had a car like that when I was that young 15-16, I would not be here today. It was too much car for me and my youthful crazyness. Anyway, I have followed Shelby and his cars ever since. He was also a American patriot flying airplanes in WWII. An example of what hard work and a dream can accomplish. Going from chicken farmer to winner of Le Mans 24 Hours both as a driver, car owner, and designer. He beat Ferrari at his own game. Love it! R.I.P.
