Synopsis: After failing as a chicken farmer, Carroll Shelby went on to become one of the winningest drivers in racing history, famously wearing "chicken overalls" in races. After a heart condition forced early retirement from racing, he reinvented himself as an automotive manufacturer and built the fabled Shelby Cobra sports car. With his Shelby Daytona Coupe race car, Shelby became the first American team to dethrone the Ferraris at Le Mans and win the World Manufacturer’s Championship. This caught the eye of Henry Ford II who was desperate to beat the Ferrari’s for the overall win at Le Mans with the Ford’s new race car, the GT40. Answering the call, Shelby led a team of young hot-rodders from Venice, CA and won Le Mans with the Ford GT40. After racing, he shifted his focus back to consumer cars, injecting testosterone into Ford's Mustang and Chrysler's Dodge Viper. Shelby was the rare combination of fierce competitor, charismatic salesman and visionary entrepreneur.
