« on: May 09, 2021, 04:05:15 PM »Whether it was Ford or S-A, someone shuffled the cars like a deck of playing cards. 5S071's VIN is higher than 5S110.It doesn't matter that some Ford VINs are out there. I can assure you Ford didn't shuffle the cars. That assembly line produced a batch of cars in numerical order every time. There is no way anyone can predict what one of the missing or totaled GT350 VIN number is or even how many cars were in each batch Ford sent. Was it a good sales month so 50 more were needed from San Jose or were only 25 needed? The old you can't tell the players without a program was never more true and Rick or Howard isn't letting anyone else read the program. The cars were brought in and parked. Then they were pulled and some more were brought in and parked in front of and beside those that were already there. All that minimum wage lot boy did was go get the nearest car. He wasn't told to go get 5RXXXXetc. That was taken care of by accounting who wrote in the ledger which car was assigned the Shelby number. The lot boy was probably mad when the 66 cars came in colors as he had to actually go get a red or blue car and maybe move one or two to get it.
it matters that some ford VIN are out there for the cars that have those VIN because it's now possible for somebody to clone it with the real ford number .Still the historic make the difference but can still be a pain in the ... for the owner of the real one to prove the other car is the fake one.Always better to keep them secret .
