 Carlos,
George Henke took a very good picture of the remains of the Shelby wreck
out behind the Cape back in 1955. It looked pretty twisted and was
stripped of components. I think the picture has appeared in AH Club USA
magazine.
For a time period, Bill Emerson had his 100S painted like the Shelby car
and currently Bill Meade has his 100M painted like the Shelby car.

>From another source, "Dr. Hal Fenner was at the mexican road race with
Carroll Shelby and Donald Healey. He reported that Carroll sharply
turned or mildly hit something causing a knock-off hammer to fly into
his elbow and break it.
Carroll was taken to the hospital by ambulance leaving the car
unattended.
When Hal flew in and landed his plane on the road he found the car but
no Carroll. Several hours later he found Carroll at the hospital.
Carroll asked who was with the car. No-one was . when they flew back the
car was almost totally stripped."
