I certainly don't profess to know all there is, regarding Carroll Shelby and his ventures. However, seeing a 1968 GT350 being advertised as a car purchased by Carroll for a community college in Texas certainly got my attention at a car show this weekend.
Am I the only one that hasn't heard this story? Apparently, Carroll purchased this pictured 1968 Shelby GT350 for a community college in Texas, in addition to sending them over $700K in donations over the later course of his life. Apparently, Carroll was working to try and get young people interested in working on cars (you can read the note attached - it actually looks like something out of a SAAC publication).
In any case, I really thought this was some interesting stuff - enjoy!
P.S. Does anyone know the Shelby # of this car? The hood was closed, so I couldn't get a view. I should have looked for the VIN at the base of the windshield, but I'm easily distracted.
