Sad to hear. Seems like quite a few famous people passing away in recent days.

It's always sad to hear of an icons passing.

Growing up I had a neighbor that had a cobra. I started to lean on the car one day and was immediately told that was a no no. The body was thin aluminum and easily dented which I had no idea of at the time.

I went to Wikipedia and read where Shelby had a part in the Didge Viper as well. He had to be a special mind in the automotive industry.

I was fortunate enough to meet him and get his autograph.
