Totally sucks. He was a dear friend of my fathers, and at a very young age I remember them going to a junkyard and coming back with a wrecked '70 GT500 and both rebuilding it to original specs-down to an exact paint match. Looked showroom beautiful and sounded nasty as hell.
Growing up, he was one of the coolest and nicest guys you could ever meet. He loved talking rides, and always made time for fans of his or his cars. He would do anything for a friend, and truly was a man of his word.
RIP Carroll

If there is a heaven, I suspect he is already making plans to kick Enzo Ferrari's ass at the track.
