R.I.P.  Big Jim.
He is the one that gave me the nickname John from Utah.
Oh so many years ago.
One of his trips out to Utah was to check out 3 or 4 Shelby I had, of which he bought a 65.
maybe car #137
Big Jim could get upset and riled pretty easy, we used to screw around with each other.
Those were the days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a legend in the Cobra and Shelby World and will not be forgotten.
My condolences to the family.
See ya again some day Jim.
John

I enjoyed speaking with Jim and will miss his honesty.  He was always very fair to me when either restoring something, or selling me a part.  God Bless.

I started buying stuff for my KR's 4110, 3856 probably somewhere around 1992. In the last year  got some items for my 66 #236 and was hoping to start getting things for  66 #1127.  I  always thought he never charged enough for what he did. Can't say enough good things about Jim. I will miss talking to him.

Tremendous loss. I was working with Jim just recently on an exhaust system. Of course he knew exactly what I wanted. Condolences to his family.

RIP

Our condolences to his family. He will be missed. I've been buying parts from Jim since the late 70's. Thanks for posting, Jessie.

So sad to learn of his passing.  Such a knowledgeable and passionate guy about this wonderful hobby of ours.  We've lost someone instrumental in keeping the legacy of Carroll Shelby alive.

Great guy! Sad to hear this news

Enjoyed 30 some years of working with Jim on my restorations. Always helpful with info and parts. Just made a purchase last summer, we talked about a half hour about old times. Was worried at that time about Covid. I guess something else took him. Rest in Peace.

Very sad to hear this news. I had many conversations with Jim over the years. He always remembered me even if a few years went by. I will always remember his honesty. He spent more time talking me out of buying parts than selling parts to me.

I still have many of his hand written invoices from the 90's.

This world needs more people like Jim.
