1. wild animal : a carnivorous animal of the dog family that has a sturdy square body, large cubic inches, a wide RPM range , and comes in many colors. Foxes are found throughout most of the world and hunt alone, mainly at night, relying on cunning and an acute sense of power and acceleration. They feed on mostly small rodents like rats(BBC) , mice (SBC) and snakes(Cobras).

The end of an era. Might be equalled one day, but never surpassed.
He kicked Enzo's ass, and that was great!
He gave us a lot, and for that I sincerely thank him.
I will never understand the grief he gave the Cobra replica companies though.
RIP Mr. Shelby
Now...will the prices of his vintage Ford products jump?

I think everyone knew when they suspended the signature program it wouldnt be long. He surely contributed quite a bit to the automotive world, and was very generous helping the children with illness.
Called my boss to see if his SECOND Supersnake was finished and signed prior. His was and he's going out to vegas next week to see it before shipping it back. If anyone is looking for stock parts, he has two cars worth, contact me or Silvernotch. Shelby was a pioneer for sure, except putting his name on the Daytona. Artist are getting sued for sampling a song thats 30 years old and people are unsure why he gave companies grief when his whole car was basically ripped off???????Originally Posted by ecrissman
It was never his design anyways. The AC Ace Bristol was a British car.

The shit AC Ace wasn't but if your comparing the 100 hp Ace to a Shelby 427 Cobra, thats laughable to think its the same car.
R.I.P. Ole 'Shell. You will be missed.
No Burnout Bill
Design. All he did was an engine swap. So for him to take credit for the shape and go after reproduction companies for a design that's not his, that's laughable.
