“The Win-a-Shelby raffle is very popular because it gives enthusiasts an opportunity to own a wonderful piece of history and also benefit children in need,” said Carroll Shelby, Founder of the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. “This year, we’re going to raffle a Ford Shelby with the new Terlingua Racing Team package.”

The Foundation will display the Shelby after the automotive legends sign the car and sell raffle tickets at various events. Tickets are also available at www.winashelby.org. Anyone who purchases the $100 package of 5 tickets will receive a Terlingua Racing Team sticker.

“Our Shelby car raffles are a key part of our ongoing effort to fund the fight against child illnesses,” noted Jenni Shreeves, Director of the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. “We chose to offer a one-of-a-kind Terlingua Racing Team Shelby because it represents the fun-loving, mischievous attitude that kids should be enjoying instead of facing health issues. This adult sized ‘toy’ is the perfect way to generate attention for the Foundation.”

Offered exclusively through Shelby Automobiles, the Terlingua Racing Team post-title package for the V6 Ford Mustang includes significant handling and braking improvements including a deep draw hood, 20” wheels and styling changes including the Terlingua rabbit. The Shelby will include the optional supercharged 350 HP engine with an even more aggressive suspension and braking system. The package will be applied, with a Shelby serial number at an official mod shop.

He is just a little off on the title,

"Carroll Shelby's children, fund".......Much more accurate.

[What'saCobra?]

Sharp and accurate punctuation, Bret, but there will be few distributions until he goes to that big "real Shelby" collection in the sky or whatever.

Until then, there are certain expenses that must be met, meetings in Indonesia, speeches in Monte Carlo, shows and meals in Monterey and certain storage, preparation, preservation expenses and any legal fees necessary to protect the assets, reputation and history of the Shelby marque and his personal reputation as the personification of that marque.

Recall that just as Chapman never over-built a car, Shelby never under-promised a result. Therefore, protecting his marque is very expensive as a result. i frankly doubt that it would bother him very much to leave very little except enormously complex legal issues for his 'hairs to settle for the rest of their lives.

Remember, he is a racer. Personal image is everything.

And, he doesn't frequently turn the other cheek.

Personally, thanks for the Raffle posting. Didn't know about it from any other source and it is interesting to follow the great man's history AND histrionics.

Imagine winning a REAL Shelby! Wonder who it will be?
