Shelby American; USA Transporters and Service Vehicles

Sorry for that *LOL*
i really dont have a drink or a beer at this time ...

i just answered about Mobile phone and with German automatic language spelling correction
it comes to that struggle ...

But Richstang ist right, i can proof it by myself with some pics
but Side-Oilers own pics would be much more important and clearlier.

By my search for the Building i saw some pics with vehicels too, so i will post them here
but i am not sure if they bringing this thread forward.

First a pic from Carter Building with the Red Shelby Truck Nr. 1
for me at this moment my favourite one, would love too see some more pics
or even had it in 1.64 Modelcar Scale (Like Company M2 is doing ist with some other Vehicels)



On the other Pics (you have already post it, i find a third one from the other side)
you see this Shelby Fruck F250 with the Shelby Enterprise Logo





and this one is for sure not a real car, and it seems to be pure fantasy...
but i found it were well done and it have al the right Shelby Logos on it.

Great addition of the CSX 2409 factory photo! Graham Shaw traded in CSX2129 for this new Cobra.
I missed posting it to this thread, but should have noticed that Red cab in the background.


I estimate it was taken sometime in Mid June 1964. Also, it is the only photo I've seen of this Red N650 Super Duty cab in 1964.

Sounds good,
Thanks Szabo

Actually looks to have been privately built, not a kit.

Check out this realistic Ford Cobra hauler miniature.

Check out this realistic Ford Cobra hauler miniature.

That's pretty cool...what scale is it an who made it?



I still have to start a thread on the European Transporter. It won't be as big as the US version, but I'll include both Shelby and Ford from the era.

Next are the F-Series pickups.

I'm going to take a step back to the white CS Enterprise INC F250. There appear to be more than one truck used. A second white pickup with a Goodyear logo appears at Laguna Seca in 1963. It was parked on the other side of the King Cobra pictures in reply #11. Another photo shows both trucks parked side by side in the pits. I guess the mismatched bed was sold that way from Ford in '63.

Maybe i had some more photos for F250...





Even the text are very interessting,
am i right that they shortly after after (1964) they had the big red Hauler, Nr. 1

on the pic befor we already see Hauler and F250 together ...

Those are very cool COLOR photos of the pickups and single car trailers hauling CSX2128 and 2129 to Kent, WA July 20-21 1963.
The captions are especially helpful in telling us three (3) pick-ups and trailers hauled the team Cobra's to the event. The third hauler and Cobra not shown is CSX2127.

I believe these pick-ups were used as haulers only for the all local (west coast) races. The red N650 Super Duty Tractor Trailer was used for the long hauls to places like Sebring. We first see it in February '63 at Sebring, FL and again in early July '63 at Lake Garnett, KS.

Rich, There's a previous post made earlier by Szabo and he mentioned seeing that white Shelby hauler miniature scale on Pinterest, so i went there to look for Shelby haulers and found this one. I couldn't find no info on it

[Richstang]

found it.
Exoto 1:43 scale, about $450...and that's without the cars!!!

Wow 

Now that replication is totally awesome. Needs to get a couple figurines in their positions to be complete

Man, I may have to find me one but see if I can get a cheaper price

Thanks Rich,

Maybe a little bit offtopic ... but there is the same Trailer from Norev in in 1.18 Size, cost around 300 Euros in Germany...

but Exoto in 1.43 is totaly overprized for that sized, that´s too much, no matter if you are rich or just a Guy who stands
on the floor.

I own around 100 Mustang and Shelby Modelcars in 1.18, even the same 100 on BMW and 50 or so from other Brands,
and even some in 1.64 Scale too (theres much better to collect all Forms)
but there is no sense to put over 200 Euros on just one Piece.

I for myself looking for these M2 Haulers from Shelby, but only found in Amerika for around 30 Dollar with Shipping around the same,
too much for me, so i sitting here and waiting, in over 20 Years collecting i can say it clearly:

When you are long enough waiting for something you can find everything you want

But pack to this thread:

From the F100 i found sadly nor more Infos, only this one Pic...

From Exoto are several Trailers and Hauler on the Market

From Exoto they are still some haulers on the Market, maybe a good chance too take some
extra pics for a thread, because they Made in right shape with right details...

Should i looking for some pics to Haulers or so ?

It was suggested that there be a separate  thread for Shelby & Ford models, I seem to recall one on the old site ?

Before we get too far off topic, this is pretty cool! here's one I found, Ford P/U & Cooper-Ford. It mentioned that the truck was modified ERTL, Monogram did a Cooper-Ford kit in 1/32, perhaps that is the scale of this outfit ?

Have we seen this Cobra hauler yet with GT40? Tractor may be the one at page 15 reply#223?

It looks like what seems to be "Laundry drying out" on the front bumper of the tractor!
