Yes, truly a sad day.

He was often controversial with some of his business dealings, but you
do have to respect the contributions he made for our beloved Mustang.

RIP, Mr. Shelby.

He automotive life did have a nice ending -- he got back with Ford/
Mustang and finished with two incredible cars -- the 200+ mph 2013 GT
500 and 975+ HP GT 1000.
