Shelby celebrates Carroll's 85th birthday and start of GT500KR production
Carroll Shelby is celebrating his 85th birthday today in style with a 3-day party in Las Vegas along with dozens of Shelby owners and enthusiasts. Guests will be treated to a weekend of open track and drag racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a parts swap meet, and a chili cook off. The event will also serve as the kick-off for production of the GT500 KR, as well as a reunion of Shelby Hertz Mustangs, both old and new. Sounds like the ideal birthday party for the ultimate car guy!

Hello Shelby, Last time we met was Joburg '76 re: Wild Bill Jefferies. Must be a lifetime ago. I'll be in LAS for NASCAR and would like to see your museum, etc. Still have memories or Tony Challis and safari life. How do I reach you? Respectfully, Suzy Ruhe

Happy birthday Carrol! Feel like slapping your name on anymore horizons? Congrats on building ONE good car and then whoring your name out for millions, plastering it on THOUSANDS later on. Whatever happened to that aurora powered thing anyway???
