Greg Ham lived near my Dad's record store. He was a lovely guy. It's very sad.

His friends called him Ol' Shel', and I was lucky enough to be a bit more than an acquaintance.

Carroll Shelby, who directed the effort in which Ford beat Ferrari at LeMans in 1965 and shocked the automotive world has died at 89. Shelby was one of the world's longest-living heart transplant patients and there's a transplant foundation for kids in hs name.

Shelby was a national champion sports car driver in the early '60s (as Paul Newman would be decades later) and was even on the cover of Sports Illustrated for his racing exploits. But when race stewards found out he was popping nitroglycerin tablets during races for his congenitally bad heart, they strongly suggested he stop.

Thus Carroll Shelby, visionary and marketer, was born.

His first big gig was directing the effort for Henry Ford II (Henry the Deuce) at LeMans in 1965. Henry and Enzo Ferrari hated each other and Ford spent a reported $40 million for Shelby the develop the race team which included drivers AJ Foyt, Ken Miles and Dan Gurney to crush perennial winner Ferrari.

Why the animostiy between the two moguls? Ford was negotiating to buy Ferrari but Ferrari would only sell if he could continue to run his race team. Henry said "No," and reportedly Enzo said, "Fuck you" to Ford's face in the Italian's office.

Shelby and Ford developed the GT40 (not the newer one, but the original) and that either stood for its 40mm roof height or the $40 million spent. No one is quite sure which. In any event, Ford beat Ferrari.

Anybody who loves cars knows who he was. The Shelby Cobra Mustang (the original) is still lone of the most powerful street cars ever made by Ford.

they should've lowered the flags to half staff here in MI.

...man, that guy had a wild ride while he was here.

Yeah he did. Anybody that can get Enzo Ferrari to yell "FUCK YOU," and then turn around and beat Ferrari at his own game has mad respect from me.
