I'm Looking for Photos
I'm looking for some photos of a van Shelby used in his business back in the 60's. On page 30 in Dave Friedman's book, Cobra, The Shelby American Original Archives 1962-1965, there is a photo of Carroll and Steve Mcqueen standing out side the Princeton Street shop. In the doorway of the shop, you can see the Ford van I'm talking about. What I would like to see are photos of the van from all sides, plus if anyone knows what year van it is. Any history on this van would also be appreciated.
P.S. I tried googling it, but no luck. |
Someone must have these photos or seen them. Any help would be appreciated.

1962 Econoline window van. Six cylinder powered (a 144 or a 170 cid, real "torque monster" and a "three-on-the-tree" trans)
Drove many of these first generation E-Series....nasty handling, straight front axle, "mid-engined" (look it up, engine between front axle centerline and rear axle is technically a "mid-engine") and FAV used one to tow GT40s from the works to the airport or for testing. Today you wouldn't tow a Jet-Ski with one, much less without a weight-ditributing hitch and a trailer with NO brakes towed by a van with 1.75"x10" non-assited drum brakes!!!!:eek: |
Wonder who's T-bird that is? Cool photo.

I do remember reading that the van was owned by the Racing School.

That's a Fairlane Sports Coupe not a Tbird.
Shelby was playing all the angles, look closely, the van is being run on MFG 013 license plates too. Was this photo taken at the Princeton Ave facility? |
