nerfbat Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 ah dammn...... my favourite car, as a kid growing up.. a creator dies, but his legend lives on R.I.P. Quote
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 As long as cars and motorsport in general is around he will be remembered. Also I reckon there will be some kind of special edition Mustang coming from this. Quote
BUZ440 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Sad news, The name itself is quite valuable Quote
Jono.C Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 RIP to a true motorsport legend. Was only watching a video on him the other day.. Quote
towe001 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Also I reckon there will be some kind of special edition Mustang coming from this. Nar bugger that. Shelby Cobra Daytona. Instead of only six being built, have a run of 89. It wouldn't be too hard to put into production due to Fords concept GR-1 but instead of using a v10, run a modern 427 v8 but have it typical Carroll Shelby style - is it a 427 or could it be a 429 or a 428.

parrot Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 No way, Shelby SCCA 2000GT would beat that anyday, or at least look better whilst trying. Quote
