Holman-Moody’s 1967 Ford shop truck is for sale for $14,000. Do you really need to know any more than that? Working with Ford products, Holman-Moody were the name in motorsports in the late 1960s, holding the record for most victories in NASCAR in a season (48 out of 55 races in 1965, which is still unbroken), and supplied the driving talent behind the 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. If Holman-Moody had their hands on it, you could bet that it was something to be feared.
This F-100 Ranger, on the other hand, not so much. A 352/3-on-the-tree truck, it’s mostly stock with a few custom touches here and there, along with the hand-lettering on the body. Somebody has taken the time to go through the Ford to make sure it’s roadworthy, as they included a laundry list of the new parts on the truck:
• Dennis Carpenter Fuel tank w/ sending unit
• Master Cylinder
• Wheel cylinders (4)
• Rubber brake lines

With Lee Holman’s signature on the glovebox, there’s little doubt that this Ford was with the iconic race team. And $14,000 for a Ford bump side with this much work isn’t bad in the first place. What say you?

Hmm, very cool but a little bit disappointing. I was hoping there’d be like a 427 Tunnel Port jammed in it or something
I call bull shit until I see a title in the company name from 1967
looks more like a patina job
selling for an inflated price because the glove box door is signed
Nick and derby dad I agree with both your comments.
Yeah, nowhere in the CL listing does it say it was actually owned by Holman-Moody. Just a signature on the glovebox door.
Very true. Almost sounds like it is a Holman-Moody tribute that they got approved
Its been on flebay for awhile. If it were the real deal, it would be long gone for big bucks. It is cool though!
