I edited the article in that Caroll Shelby had nothing to do with the creation of the Mustang. That was Lee Iococca (sp?).

[edit] Shelby Durango

Back in 1999 something like 300 Shelby Durangos were produced. I don't know much about their history or specs, so I don't want to add them under the wrong category. Does anyone know anything about these trucks? TomTheHand 17:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I looked at http://www.allpar.com and was unable to find any information on a Shelby Durango. The Durango started production in 1998 while Shelby's association with Chrysler Corporation seems to had ended shortly after Viper production began in 1992. I have found information on the Shelby Rampage and the Shelby Dakota, though. Respectfully, SamBlob 02:13, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shelby and the Viper

Chrisler created the Viper as an "indirect descendent" of the cobra. One of his final functions working with Dodge was consulting on the Viper project. I seen a picture of Shelby with all the Shelby Dodge cars in the back and I recall seen The Dodge Viper Concept right behind him. I post it if i can find it again.

[edit] Formula One

Shelby had a short and undistinguished Formula One career in 1958-1959. Shouldn't this be mentioned here? Philsy 20:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, if a source for the information can be found and stated. Respectfully, SamBlob 22:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
