This is not my ad. BEWARE
I thought I'd share the ad, which is for an original 1967 Shelby VIN tag just in case some one in the future decides to resurrect from the dead car #67400F5A 01540.
The ebay ad reads: "This Vin tag was pulled I'm a GT500 that came into my dad's wrecking yard 36 years ago. The car was hit so hard on the passenger side that it look like a train must have hit it. This is all that I have from that car. These are sold as memorabilia only."

I hear the seller has another one stamped 67402F2U00939. ;D
Thanks!
I thought this was going to be for Morrison's car ;D
Without the ford number I would think it becomes buyer beware.
ay caramba!

Tag is real for sure..but whassup with the door sill plate?!?! :o
Oh come on guy, its "rare" that alone should bring 2300.00! It will be interesting to see what it does, am I crazy thinking someone will pay dearly? So if it shows up on a car someday, and everyone here know is, is that bad? I am sure its been done and done very well, heck anyone of us might own a car that was done so perfect that we don't even know.
That's where long term ownership provenance comes in,History matters IMHO.
Long term ownership? I know a guy who bought a 65 mustang thinking is was a 65 Shelby, he knew Shelby's and so did the Shelby rep. He thought that for years, until one day... that day was in the year 1971. This was somewhere out in the mid-west.
I'll bet our registrar is right on top of that for the registry.
I hope and bet. Question,, is there a list of cars that have funny numbers/tags?

. It's a combination of things..However I would be a lot more confident buying a car with long term ownership(and registry)provenance than one that came from "out of the blue".Of course there are exceptions to every rule...A lot less chance of someone misrepresenting a car as real back before they were valuable enough to justify the effort IMHO

the registry's and registrar's have much info, but probably not all...
And the Registrars are tighter lipped than Robert Mueller

Reading the registries over the years, there are numerous notes pertaining to rebodies, double Vinned cars, air cars and such. We've been in very good hands.

Yep, I still have the V.I.N. plate from a 1969 Cougar "R" code (O.K., it's not a Shelby) hanging on the wall that I pried off the car as it rested (& rusted) in the junkyard. It was my 'free-bee' after I removed the "N" case from it. :)

Dave & Nancy Mathews have been informed...
I removed the door plate from an X code 68 fastback many years ago. It literally was marked for crushing so it was shortly a block of Scrap

Wait until the buyer gets the bright idea of getting a Marti report (the next step) and finds that Kevin will not do it without the Ford VIN also . :o After a tribute car is built and slid under the tag the tag buyer or maybe a unsuspecting buyer will try to register the car with SAAC and find out the ugly truth not knowing that the SAAC registrar has the 411 on the tag/car.
I rarely post on the forum, mostly because of minimal knowledge base, but i certainly learn a lot. This forum is a great benefit to all, the annual publication is very informative, the annual SAAC convention is certainly a lot of fun. However, protecting the integrity of the marque and putting a spotlight on situations such as this, is the most important benefit to keeping this "club" viable for all Shelby enthusiasts.
Mr Gaines we are with you 100%

It's interesting to see that some of the bidders on the auction retracted their bids, possibly because they saw this post.
I'm sure someone was looking at an opportunity to finally make their Mustang a "Real Shelby". Unfortunately, the unsuspecting may fall for the high bidders shenanigans, if that is their intent.
It is more common to see a reproduction tag on a real Shelby than to see an original Shelby vin tag on a "made-up wanna-be" Shelby clone. BUYER BEWARE!!

You are Soooo right!!
Glad I know where my cars tag is...
well , problem is like this 1968 GT500 yellow existing in europe with no ford vin under the tag , still, somebody bought the car with out checking it !!
it could happen again and The guy who invest those 1280 $ could get some good return on investments , unfortunately !!!
there's always people trying to pass the hot potatoes to the next one .
Last year i met on guy who claim to have a 5000 miles totally original 66 mustang convertible c code for sale , i went inspected the car and figure out it was all false, totally restored , imported from USA in the 80's, i told him, so sorry but you believed the previous seller's farytale and you bought it for too much money, take your pills and sale it for what it is . it looked likes he didn't knew the true ...
Now in 2019 on our french "craig list", the car is announced with the exact same farytale by the guy i saw and he knows exactly now ,that is trying to screw somebody else !!!!
Buyers Beware !!!!
What could be worse than a re-body? What if the car actually exists? Maybe the tag was from an old shop that had done a restore or repaired front end damage? Just wondering.....

love the way you think !
