Good news for Shelby fans
Good, no great, no AWSOME news for Shelby fans. The wicked witch is gone!
Maybe they now get back on track and turn the company around.
Whos the Wicked Witch? Amy?

I haven't been following the Shelby news closely. Can someone give me the Cliff Notes of what's going on and why it's important? I don't really know who Amy Boylan is, other than "President".....

Why is she evil? Does she want to make the GT500 into a Prius or something?

Looks like Orange SS was right.
From Mustang Heaven:
According to a recent press release from Shelby American, Amy Boylan left her role as President of Shelby American on April 23rd for unspecified reasons. Boylan joined Shelby American in 2005 as the company was in financial disarray and desperately in need of new leadership. She is credited with turning around Carroll Shelby’s empire one contract at a time.
“I’ve an idea of what is ahead of the auto industry, so it just makes sense to focus on our post title car, performance tuning and parts businesses,” said Shelby American founder Carroll Shelby. “Amy Boylan joined us at a critical point. She and her team did an excellent job moving the company forward and fulfilling my plans during her time here. Now we’ve come full circle and are taking an exciting new direction with the Shelby brand.”
Also in the press release from Shelby American it explains the company is being reshaped for the future which includes concentrating more on its post-title packages.
Over on TeamShelby.com, Amy left a farewell letter of sorts which I will post below.
****************
