I had forgotten about that from the book. I have the same book and have read,....... no studied cover to cover. But of course by posting that we run the risk of turning this into a SB vs BB thread
Shelby is repsonsible or had a big part in three of my top ten cars. Cobras, GT40 and Slhelby Mustangs(particuarly the GT350R). Amongst the coupes, pantera's, etc. Some of the crap that Chrysler tried doesn't even come close! I do like the Viper but it does not hit my top ten.
Most of this whole topic is emotional. Many of us grew us putting the man on a pedistal and deeply admiring his product. So will all his actions and words, we find them demeaning and hurtful. Like a father telling his son that he is worthless. I don't think he understands our deep affection for his creations and how it hurts us. I think he is only looking out for himself and damn the rest of us. The very same ones who help keep his legend alive.
OH. Carroll saying his heart was only 45. He had a heart valve leakage at seven that kept him mostly in bed until 14. But of course he got a new one in 90 from a 38 year old gambler.
