Carroll Shelby

2 Life before racing

Carroll Hall Shelby (January 11, 1923 May 10, 2012)

was an American automotive designer, racing driver and
entrepreneur. He was best known for his involvement
with the AC Cobra and later the Mustang-based performance cars for Ford Motor Company known as Shelby
Mustangs which he had done since 1965. His company,
Shelby American Inc., founded in 1962, currently sells
modied Ford vehicles, as well as performance parts.[1]

Shelby honed his driving skills with his Willys

automobile[8] while attending Woodrow Wilson High
School in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from Wilson
in 1940. He was enrolled at The Georgia School of
Technology in the Aeronautical Engineering program.
However, because of the war Shelby did not go to school
and enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps,[9]
serving in World War II as a ight instructor and test
pilot. He graduated with the rank of sta sergeant
pilot.[10] Subsequently, he had short stints as an oil-well
roughneck and as a poultry farmer prior to his racing
career.

Personal life
3 Driving career

Shelby was born on January 11, 1923, in Leesburg, Texas,

to Warren Hall Shelby, a rural mail carrier, and his wife,
Eloise (Lawrence) Shelby.[2] Shelby suered heart valve
leakage problems by age 7 and spent most of his childhood in bed. By age 14, Shelbys health improved and
he was subsequently declared to have outgrown his
health problems.[3] Shelbys rst wife was Jeanne Fields;
they married on December 18, 1943. Their daughter
Sharon Anne Shelby was born a year later on September
27, 1944. They had two more children sons named
Michael Hall (born November 2, 1946) and Patrick Bert
(born October 23, 1947). Shelby and Fields later separated and divorced in February 1960. In 1962, Shelby
married actress Jan Harrison but the marriage was annulled the same year.
Shelby dealt with health issues throughout his life. He Shelby beside his 1957 Maserati 450S at Virginia International

5 Shelby Dodges and Dodge Shelbys

Shelby began working with Dodge at the request of
Chrysler Corporation chairman, Lee Iacocca.[16] Iacocca
had previously been responsible for bringing Shelby to

to the acquisition of Shelby American), Carroll Shelbys
new company, Shelby Automobiles, Inc., purchased the
Series 1 assets for pennies on the dollar. Included in the
asset purchase were enough components to produce several more complete Series 1s.

In 2005, the Shelby GT500 was revealed at the New York
International Auto Show, and became available in the
summer of 2006 as part of the model year 2007 lineup. It
is powered by a 5.4 Liter Modular V8, with four-valvesper-cylinder heads borrowed from the $150K Ford GT
supercar, an Eaton M122 Roots-type supercharger and
is rated by Ford at 500 hp (370 kW) and 480 ftlbf (650
Nm) of torque. It boasts a Tremec T-6060 manual transmission, reworked suspension geometry, 18-inch wheels,
functional aerodynamic body kit, and still retains the solid
rear axle. The GT500 starts at an MSRP of $40,930 for
the coupe, and $45,755 for the convertible version. Although Carroll Shelby had no hands-on involvement in the
design of the car, he did provide Ford and SVT (Special
Vehicle Team) input on what would make the car better.
Most notably, he convinced Ford to enlist wider rear tires

violations. Despite the litigation, the Cobra kit car industry continues to thrive.
One of the lawsuits involved the Superformance Brock
Coupe, a copy of the original Shelby Daytona Coupe.
The Superformance Brock Coupe was designed by Pete
Brock, who had also designed the original Daytona Coupe
for Shelby. Shelby American sued Superformance after
Superformance had developed and begun production of
the Superformance Brock Coupe. Eventually, the litigation was settled, though the terms of the settlement (if
any) have never been released to the public. As a result of
the agreement between the two companies, the product is
now known as the Shelby Daytona Coupe, despite being
neither designed nor built by Shelby American. Nearly
150 of these new Shelby Daytona Coupes have been built
