Yes he did and he also had his hand on the Plymouth Viper.

There's not much that deals with horsepower that he didn't have a hand in. I think it's kinda neat that he had a big hand in handing a one, two punch at Le Mans to Enzo Ferrari in 1966 taking first and second place quite handily and winning it the next three years also. Twice with the same chassis.

I just love the idea that you could buy a car off the show-room floor, change the tires and race competivley! What an age to have lived in!

I read about the Viper, seems Carol had designed a much smaller agile machine, then Chrysler got it's hands on the car and doubled its weight. As I recall Carol was not very happy with the result

Bit of a late entry to this thread I know, but being a lover of cars, also wish to salute the legend that is Carroll Shelby

I just finished reading a book called "They Also Flew", it was about America's Enlisted pilots from pre-WW1 up to the middle of WW2. Carol Shelby was one of them, a Sgt Pilot. I never knew this.
