Another fine example of amateurs believing they can be professionals 😉

I wonder how the k code vin on the trans compares to the car found? If it was a Shelby?

They did seem to imply it was a factory build, but never really came out and said it

If it has early car features why is it a later number?

Cool car

Maybe even a Shelby, but at best it's half a Shelby now

Lost me at "Shelby took out the engines and transmissions and didn't really care what care what cars they went in"

Stop trying so hard to justify what you found and let the car speak for itself

The psychology of this question has always interested me. Presumably it implies rarity is being sought. The number you cited  is such a small drop in the bucket they are are already extremely rare. Hundreds of thousands of Mustangs were built at the same time. Curious why you ask?

First the assumption is being made that  the Shelby club knows about all the cars

They do not

If you own a car you are under no obligation to tell anyone. There are many cars still around the club does not know anything about

The club probably has information on more than 80% of the cars built based on their publications

A Registry would be a good purchase for you

Personally I think BAT is doing a disservice to its customers

I agree there is an awful lot of people on there trying to look important that have no interest in ever buying the car. Who gives AF what your opinion of the color is or what dealer it was shipped to?

I fear I have fallen into the trap

We often assume because we would or would not do something, that's what others would do.

"I wouldn't sell that car, if I had paid that money for it"

Thanks for that clarification

I had no knowledge, but I think we can certainly agree, these auctions are not always as they seem

The real question is was that a "real" sale?

Yet another reason not to use auction prices as a guide unless the whole story is known.

I trust some of these circuses about as much as PT Barnum.

Links no good

Listen to him. He's a used car dealer.

Told by who?

You need a lot more context to get an answer

Is this specific to one year? One promotion? A specific promotion?  A specific type of car?

There were literally thousands of Ford dealers and everyone of them ran promotions continuously

Different sizes different gauges

Can you do a photo

I note his profile photograph- no coincidence
