I Meet him at a Ford event at Maple Grove Raceway, He was a nice guy.
There was (is) another guy by the name of Sam Feinstein who raced a
AC Cobra and had a speed shop called Feinstein Racing in Cheltenham,
Pa. I used to go there a lot, took my Mustangs. You can search out
his name and see the records that he has with his cobra. When I get
the time I will put up some of the Cobra Photos that I shot for a
magazine spread, as a tribute to Carroll Shelby. Because of Carroll
Shelby and My dad who worked at a couple of Ford dealers, all the
cars we have ever owned are Fords and we still own Fords. Hell my
oldest car is a 1954 F100 with a 390 C.I. and a C-6 Automatic that I
installed.Have a couple of old mustangs. I remember when my dad was
looking to buy a new Ford, I tried to get him to buy a 1969 Torino
Cobra, back then it was only about 3200 hundred dollars, I had all
priced out with all the Hipo stuff, but he did not buy it. Well now
I also have a 1968 Torino fastback which I used as the tow car for
one of the Mustangs when I was drag racing..Carroll Shelby, WE (I)
will miss you...Joe
Another great one is gone. Saw it on our Times blog earlier today.
Carroll was a nice guy if a bit rambunctious. First met him at an
International Motor Press Association meeting in New York in the
early eighties. He came to show off his Chili, then again at his
mini factory in California when he was building a second batch of
Cobras with "left over" serial numbers." Always entertaining. He
will be missed.
