Nice find Mike...we can see the three side stripes on the box trailer.

Rich, here's another one, this is at Laguna Seca for the Can-Am race in '68. I'm not sure if Shelby had a entry in this race ? or if this a support truck, didn't Shelby have a race tire business ?

sorry 'bout that Chevy guy on the left, Dick Guldstrand

Mike

about the size I fiddled around and that's what came up, at least I'm able to get a pic on the forum   

Another interesting later photo Honker. What the address on the cab door?

(If you add " =width 999" after the text "image " in the BB code, it should allow the photo to fill the screen without the annoying scrolling bar.

Rich, here's a tighter image of the address on the truck.

Still a cool photo...larger version on page 12. I don't know if anyone ever figured out what the silver car's CSX number was.

Were there any 64 or 65 Falcon Sedan Delivery Shelby support vehicles? I know there was a 63.  I have a 65 and I was thinking of doing it up like that 63. White with the blue stripes.

Only the '63 Falcon sedan delivery was used that I'm aware of. The school switched to the Econoline van shortly afterwards.

Oh well. I might have to build a one of none 65!😉

Quiet here for a while, here's a pic of one of the Shelby Toyota 2000GTs, you can see the hauler in the background. My files say this is Mid-Ohio 1968.
Rich hope this isn't out of  sequence, you had some order to your posts.

(date corrected to '68    thanks Rich !

[Richstang]

Nice find Mike, definitely the Shelby trailer with those stripes.


I might have to look up the Mid-Ohio '67 events to see what other Shelby Team cars were there.

[Richstang]

Did some hunting.
The photo of the Shelby Toyota in race trim was most likely taken in 1968 (not 1967). Toyota only raced the team cars in 1968 in the US. The Mid-Ohio SCCA event was September 7th-8th 1968. I did not find any race results for any of the weekend races in any class.

Rich, thanks again for correcting me on the date for the 2000 GT at Mid-Ohio, her's another pic I have, only shows the ramps from the transporter, but what is that red car lurking in the far left of the photo ? could it be a Cobra ?

Nice!! a second photo from the opposite side too!

Yes, it sure looks like a red Cobra.
Kranky's race results show csx3028 with Jack Hurt was there. I don't know if was painted red by 9/68. I have photos of it in white 11/66.

Rich is this Riverside ?
