Carroll Shelby never lost sight of the importance of his unique relationship with Prudhomme. The two have remained friends in the decades following 1969. At the age of 85, Shelby concluded he needed to put Prudhomme's name on a limited-edition Shelby GT500.
"Don is an exceptional drag racer and I'm proud that he drove my first Top Fuel car in 1968," noted Carroll Shelby. "By leveraging Don's experience, we turned a really good car into a great drag racer that will beat up on the Mopar and bow-tie brigade right out of the box."
