  Paper this morning says . . . . . .Shelby was one of the nation's longest - living heart transplant receipients ,  having received a heart on June 7 , 1990.    Received a kidney transplant in 1996 .

   

  The one- time chicken farmer had more than a half - dozen successful  careers during his long life .

   

  " He's an icon in the medical world and an icon in the automotive  world ...

   

  RIP . . . Carrol Shelby . . . . . . Quite a man .

  When I get to where I was goin, I forgot why I went there
  

  Had the pleasure of meeting Carrol back in 1964 when Pops went to his place to pickup his 64 289 Cobra

  Have had  the opportunity to talk with him a few more times over the years.

  Was always a true gentleman.

  Never forgot my name and would always take a few minutes and talk with me.

  He will be missed by many.

  Gods Speed Mr. Shelby

  Here's a pic takin the day he drove Pops 64 out  of the shop .
