Default Re: Carroll Shelby - The Authorized Biography

word is from respected insiders approx 10% gets to the kids. 2 sides to any debate. With out Shelby there would be no cars thus collections or even careers made on his marque. The second is the enthusiasts provided the destiny and longevity thus provided him with the long time career. I am of the latter school. He was a promoter and a good one at that. Carroll also was good at selecting the right people at the right time like many good promoters and sales people. From personal experience he is a "slow pay" and has always been known for this over zealous projections that lead to the little guy holding the bag at times.
