So you've saved up for years to purchase your dream Shelby, but one thing is missing when you cruise to your local Cars and Coffee. Carroll knew what that was. Not only do you need to look cool driving your car, you've gotta smell good too! That's why 'Ol Shel came out with his iconic "Real Man's Deodorant". It's said that the designers of this 'possibly pheromone laced concoction' based the unique fragrance on the smell of Ken Miles' racing jumpsuit after winning the 24 hours of LeMans in 1966. This of course can't be proven, but does it really matter?
All kidding aside, here we have a nice example of Shelby's Pit Stop deodorant. the condition is very good considering that most of these were used up and thrown into landfills back in the day. The label has some light water damage, and the cap has a crack in the top. It still retains over half of it's original contents, which will still spray on demand. It's a great addition to anyone's Shelby collection. Please see additional pics for condition.

$1200 plus shipping.
Semi-serious question, since none of us regular guys will ever have a chance to sample it:
What's the fragrance comparable to in today's deodorants?
What deodorant company private-labeled it for CS?
Future sweaty generations of Shelby owners will want to know.

Honestly, it's much more floral than I would have expected. Now perhaps the fragrance has morphed over the years, but something tells me it was probably this smell from day one. I'd love to know who actually manufactured it for Carroll Shelby Enterprises.
$1200 and can't even include shirts 🥴

What kind of shirt would you like Roy?
^^^ Yeah, Shelby racing shirts with official vintage pit stains.
Phone changed it. It should have said shipping. I do usually read before posting but my wife was telling me to hurry up because we had to go somewhere. I do have an NOS made in Japan Cobra shirt in the sealed bag. I wonder how much that's worth?
