Pebble Beach - Scarab/Shelby Transporter

I saw this posted on a site regarding the recent Concours at Pebble Beach. What a beautiful vehicle and just think of all stories it could tell........

Here is some background on the transporter:

"Don Orosco is restoring Reventlow's original 36 ft Fiat transporter for his three Scarabs. It seems to have had an eventful life...Owned by Carroll Shelby for the transportion of Daytona Cobras, then to John Wyer for GT40s and Mirages...last painted red with Ferrari stickers (it was a twin of contemporary Ferrari transporters.)"

If you could have it full of Scarabs, Cobras or GT40s - which would you take?

Re: Pebble Beach - Scarab/Shelby Transporter

Cool way to show up at any event. I have knocked around the idea of doing an old Ford truck like the one pictured below, but like many other ideas, I never seem to get around to it.

Re: Pebble Beach - Scarab/Shelby Transporter

Here it is with one Daytona. Can you name the CSX's of the Cobras on the truck?
