He's from my hometown, definitely the greatest Pittsburgian that has ever lived.

That's odd.  He was born in Leesburg, Texas and died in Dallas, Texas.

We Texans have always considered Carrol Shelby as one of us. ;)

RIP Carrol Shelby! Hope you're enjoying that awesome heavenly racetrack!
I daydreamed about his cars ever since I was in Jr. High. Ironic that I finally get the car of my dreams the same year he passes...  :(

But grew up there. :p. Leesburg is a tiny town like 5 miles from downtown. :P


At least they got the baddest ass GT500 out before he left!
