Phil Remington 1921 - 2013

Legendary fabricator and motorsport great, Phil Remington passes away at Age 92.

During an interview last year, Carroll Shelby recalled his early race teams' success at Le Mans.

“What we did was take a bunch of California hot-rodders and we whipped Ferrari's ass,” as he put it. “The Cobra was the most archaic chassis, probably, with its two buggy springs and a pushrod engine, to ever go over there and win a world championship. But the reason that it was so successful was because of people like Phil Remington…”

I last spoke with Phil at Carroll's memorial at the Petersen Museum. He will be missed but leaves an impressive legacy behind.

RIP Phil Remington.
