Re: Carroll Shelby - The Authorized Biography
I'm a member of the Shelby club that was started by Shelby fans. They were instrumental in making Shelby cars as collectable as they are today. Shelby did a hostile takeover of the club several years ago. Basically the club ran out of money to defend themselves. My impression is he would do a hostile takeover of anything he thought he could win. I have bumper stickers that say "Honk if you are being sued by Carroll". I'm not sure I have ever heard what a great guy he is. I have two of his cars but don't care for the guy as a human being. A few years ago I think it was said that almost none of his Children's foundation money had ever gone to the children. Alot of it went to overhead, airline flights etc. He said he was saving it up so there would be a big enough fund to where it would be self supporting. I hope that is true. If he does that for the kids I will feel differently about him.
