Automotive legend Carroll Shelby -- the guy who designed the Ford Mustang Cobra -- has been sued by a former receptionist who claims the 88-year-old sexually assaulted her ... and also ignored her complaints when she told him she was raped by one of his employees.

According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Angelica Smith claims she began working for Shelby back in 2005 as a receptionist ... but was treated as a "personal servant" ... with Shelby often forcing her to go out on "grocery runs, liquor runs, pornography runs."

In the docs, Smith claims Shelby ran a "pervasively hostile work environment" ... and "on at least one occasion, Shelby himself sexually battered [Smith] by groping her" at his home.

Smith claims things got worse in December 2010, alleging she was drugged and raped at Shelby's home by a man who worked for Shelby.

Smith claims she reported the incident to Shelby himself -- but he "did not take any corrective action."

Instead, Smith claims, she was fired -- partly out of retaliation for reporting the rape to Shelby.

Smith is suing Shelby, Shelby's companies and the alleged rapist -- and she wants more than $5 million in damages.

Thought this thread was about people taking it in the ass with either markup on Shelby cars or overpriced parts.....who would have thought the old chicken farmer was still a little frisky after all these years. Thats dangerous with his bad heart and all. More than likely though, its just a BS shakedown story.

She and her lawyers are going for the settlement money, the only way this turd makes it to court is if 'Ol Coot Shelby refuses to pay.

Why wouldn't she find another job if it was so terrible working for him? Or report the rape to the frickin police? She's an idiot.

Good, maybe now theyll just go back to calling them (GT500) what they really are, ie SVT Cobras, and not have a rediculous Shelby markup attached.

Should have always kept it that way. I have more pride for SVT within Ford than an old man that just wants $ to attach his name to something.

Ford couldn't even use the gt40 nameplate on their Ford Gt, because Shelby wanted too much money.

+1 on should have contacted police if it was legit.

This never happens to poor people, someone always calls the police, not their attorney. :shrug:
