My first car was a 65 mustang fastback. Not a shelby but thats when I first learned of him.

Besides the racing , cars and parts Shelby helped design , build , sell.... look at the parts - support  industry the man created or was created as a result of his actions.

Just think how many Cobra replicas alone have been made over the years. He was a legend.

And if that version of Shelby's passing isn't true it's still worth retelling!
