2008-08-15,16&17 Monterey Historic Automobile Races, Transporter Restored by DBO Motor Racing Team
This is a view only gallery. The following is believed to be the history of this transporter: It was originally built on a Fiat bus chassis for the Maserati F1 Team by Italian Bus constructor Bartoletti in Forli, Italy. The Scarab team of Reventlow Automobiles Inc used it next, followed by Shelby American in its European Cobra assault on the FIA World Championship. Its next employer was David Piper Racing. And finally, it did stints in the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans (in both Gulf Porsche and Ferrari livery). Originally the transporter only employed one rear axle. It is believed the second axle was added by Shelby American to handle additional weight.
