A guy that was about five years older than me lived around the corner on the same block on the north side of Chicago (Village of Edgebrook for all you Chicago guys.
His dad bought him a red ’67 Shelby and I can’t remember if it was a GT350 or GT500. The whole family was a bit strange and on the outs with the law, guns and drugs even in the late 60’s. They were the type of family you just knew to stay away from. One day the 18 to 20 year old kid took this Shelby and tried to kill himself in the car, he rammed the car into a tree across the street from my house. He actually hit the tree, backed the crippled car up and rammed it again to try to do himself in. It didn’t work since he was pretty messed up and had a hard time hitting the tree. I didn’t witness the accident, but I saw the car in the yard and it was a mess.
