Sadly this what has gone out to those awaiting an autographed item:
Dear Friend of the Foundation,
We would like to thank you for your support of the Carroll Shelby Foundation. We have received your package with request for an authentic Carroll Shelby Autograph. Unfortunately, due to his declining health over the past few months, Mr. Shelby is no longer able to participate in the autograph program. For that reason, and with tremendous regret, we must return your item without an authentic signature. The Foundation will be offering an alternative option with an autopen Commemorative signature.
In 1991, after his life-saving heart transplant, Mr. Shelby decided to use his position in life to help those less fortunate. He made a deal with “the big guy upstairs” that if he survived he would help in any way he could. Carroll started the Carroll Shelby Heart Fund, today known as the Carroll Shelby Foundation, to support organ and tissue donation for children as well as education. Over the past 20 years Mr. Shelby has given much of his time to sit with his fans and autograph their prized possession. His commitment to giving back has allowed the Carroll Shelby Foundation to donate to a myriad of medical establishments, individuals and other organizations. With the continued support of donors like you, his philanthropic vision will continue.
Please indicate how you would like us to proceed with your request by contacting Johnna at the Foundation at 310-327-5072 or
Johnna@cscf.org: the following are the three options available.
¨ Please return my item (unsigned) and my donation.
¨ Please keep the donation, I am a proud supporter of Carroll Shelby and his Foundation, and return my item.
¨ I would like to receive an authorized commemorative signature for a $50 donation to the Foundation. I understand this is not an authentic signature but a simulated signature produced exclusively for the Carroll Shelby Legacy Collection and Carroll Shelby Foundation.
