Original 1966 Sebring 12 Hour Poster...$125 shipped to your door!

On offer here is one of the most iconic Sebring 12 Hour Posters produced! This poster measures 22 by 17 inches and prominently features a speeding Chaparral! The race would go on to be won by Ken Miles in the GT40 MKII X1 Roadster and the poster features call outs along its borders to Ford, Cobra, and all the other significant manufacturers who ran at the race.

This poster may not be in perfect condition but the front is extremely clean (a few pieces of tape are present on the backside) and the poster has pin holes in the corners. It also has a small puncture on the driver's helmet but all the paper is there and it is not really all that noticeable, especially if the poster is framed. A very rare poster which presents very well...while not breaking the bank on price! A great poster for framing and display in your garage!

Original 1966 Road and Track GT40 Print/Poster....$55 shipped to your door!

This poster features GT40 #103 on its way to a victory at the Daytona Continental 24 Hour race in 1965 by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby which would be the first victory for Ford's GT40! A great poster which is not often seen, measuring 20 by 16 inches! Excellent condition!

1969 Shelby GT350/500 Factory Poster by George Bartell....$120 shipped to your door!

On offer here is an absolutely fantastic poster which was available in the Shelby American Parts catalog in 1969 and 1970! The poster's artwork was done by George Bartell, Shelby American's factory artist, and depicts a streaking 1969 Shelby GT in dramatic colors!

This poster is in wonderful condition and is an original printing....this is not a reproduction of any kind.  The poster measures approx. 24 by 18 inches. If you collect Shelby related items and don't have this factory item in your collection, this is a must have piece! Tough to find in this sort of condition!

Original 1967 Shelby GT350/500 Showroom Brochure....$50 shipped to your door!

On offer here is an absolutely essential item for any Shelby American literature collector! This is an original 1967 color showroom brochure for the new "Road Car" Shelby GT350s and GT500s! This brochure has just now come from a person who purchased this brochure from a Shelby surplus auction in 1970 and stored this brochure since that time. The result of that is a brochure which is in exemplary, extremely nice condition which would be a worthy addition to any collection!

The brochure features an incredible amount of information as well as great color photographs of the new car. If you need an example of this iconic brochure, this is the one you need to purchase!

Original 1967-69 "Dri Mark" Shelby CS Decal...$25 shipped to your door!

You see these decals for sale all over the place bring advertised as "originals", however, this particular decal is actually an original with the "Dri Mark" printing on the back of it which originals have. Not an easy decal to find and a neat item for display or even use on your original car!

Original 1964 Hi Performance Motors Ad Slick for grand opening announcement!....$115 shipped to your door!

Definitely one of the more interesting items I have seen in a while! This is an original ad "mock up" which was done to announce the opening of Hi-Performance Motors which was owned by Lew Spencer and Carroll Shelby! This dealership would serve as the factory showroom and would go on to be one of the most well known Shelby dealers of them all! The ad was eventually run in Raceway Magazine (Riverside Raceway's magazine) but this particular piece is an original ad slick/mockup which was done in preparation for placing that ad! An amazing piece and an item you which you are guaranteed to never see another of!
