Title: CS in Africa
Post by: Side-Oilers on January 23, 2020, 09:46:28 PM
What years did Carroll live in Africa?   

Where exactly? 

Any photos of his property?  Stories of his exploits?  Gotta be some tall tales from that era.  (I never even thought to ask him about it.)

1974: Believing that government regulations were going to end the days of performance, Shelby leaves the U.S. to spend time living in South Africa.

Tony, thanks for the Motor Trend link.  Funny, but I wrote part of that article.  I knew the year 1974 had been suggested, but does anyone know exactly the total time period he lived there?

what's even funnier is that rumor has it he bought Tarzan's house on 1968 Ungawa Lane, South Africa
