Even though I was never much of a fan of his cars except for the Cobras and recent Mustangs, Carroll Shelby is one of the all time greats in the american sports and race car scene. May he rest in peace after 89 years of life.

From all I've heard and read, he was both a great man and a good man -- a rare combination.
