I was just about to post this. The industry just lost a big one. R.I.P. Carroll. I'm going to finish my mustang restoration in your honor.

I'm surrounded by his work daily so it's definitely put a damper on things here at the shop, only adding to the gloom of an already rainy day.

That does suck, but expected with the age.

He had battled a few cobra replica companies for knocking the car off lol

You know anything with his name on it went way up in value. I would love to have one of the original GT350/500.

I work at a Ford dealership and we lined the Cobras out by the highway today. Would love to have a GT500 one day.
