Had the pleasure of meeting him in 1997 at a national Shelby Dodge event in Detroit, defiantly a sad day in automotive history.

I had the joy of owning a 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger for over 20yrs, some great times

except that he never created that
he created the GT500 based on a stock Mustang
and not a contraption made by the arts department of a hollywood movie

that's a Gt500 and GT350 side by side
