He was a mechanical genius (albiet an untrained one) who could translate seat of the pants into reality and he did it over and over again. He was truly a nice guy too! Not too bad for a failed Chicken Farmer from East Texas...

The one car I always wanted but will never have was an AC Cobra.<br />And tough? He had a heart transplant what, 15 years ago? Back when the average life expectancy from such was measured in years, not decades. And he just kept on going. <br />Rest in peace Mister Shelby. we are all poorer for your passing but richer for your legacy.Sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572583408046642437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-30853619912528879912012-05-11T20:36:05.858-07:002012-05-11T20:36:05.858-07:00Oh, dear.
