Sad he passed, but (as a Mustang owner/collector) I think people give him too much credit. The thing he did best was take other people's ideas and stick them together. Very little he did was actually his own work. He marketed his name VERY well. But when you look into the details, a lot of stuff people associate his name with wasn't really his own work. There are several names (still around) that have done and are still doing more for the automotive/racing/Mustang world.
