Anyone who knows anything about American sports cars and/or the 24 Hours of Le Mans has
surely heard of Carroll Shelby before. He was instrumental in getting the U.S. into the motor sports
scene, both domestically and overseas. Though, that would be far from all that Shelby would
accomplish.
Other than winning race after race and attaining several "world champion" titles, Carroll Shelby
also built cars, too. When driving became problematic, the next best thing was to make the race
cars he loved so dearly. Eventually, that would lead to one of America's greatest sports car; the
Shelby 427 Cobra. The Shelby legend lives on in all of our high-performance automobiles.
