Shelby car hauler
Heard an interesting story at last Saturday's Pismo Derelicts car show.
An attendee (who I think is credible) told a story of being involved with Shelby in the 70's and 80's and one of their projects was a "car hauler". It was a pick-up truck front "half" with a custom bed that lowered to "ground level". Supposedly (as the story was related" you could litereally push a car onto the bed by hand. A few were made before the project died. Anybody ever hear of this??????? I'll try to find out more. Cheers Greg |

mrmustang. That's amazing. Looks like an inclined ramp judging by the alum siding angle.
Is there any more info or pics? Cheers Greg |

I remember seeing pics of an old pickup-based Shelby single car hauler some time back, but can't remember where. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...30a90e034e.jpg http://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/...uler_Bed_1.jpg Ultimate cool though is this Mercedes rig http://41.media.tumblr.com/fcaa784a7...4gzo4_1280.jpg |

Any idea if the red 66 ramp truck posted by Buzz is the real thing? Is it still known to exist?
