roadscholar Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Ford racing would not be the same without Carroll. A true American! RIP That is true. Bit of Shelby trivia; How did the GT40 get it's name? Top of the roof was 40 inches from the ground. How did the GT350 get it's name? It was 350 paces from Shelby's office to the race shop. Link to comment
