Up For Auction / Re: 5s110 - for sale - Classic Cars.com 5/8/2021

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 .

I own 5S109 and the Ford Vin is definitely not sequential, not even close.

Showing again that they were not doing cars in sequence ! 77 and  110 it's pretty big gap for a small production like this.it would be interesting to know how it was back in the day , "hey go pick up a car in the next raw , doesn't matter witch one ! " :D

A driver. Not a bad car. Needs a complete restoration.
It is a 1965 GT-350.
If it is indeed the original engine, a significant plus.
But an odd intermix of parts: 1966 decklid and fender(s), yet it still has its G2--which is a tough item.
Those rear springs almost took like Cambrias which were quite the item back in the day.
The horn switch, shifter, M/C cap, fasteners, breather cap, oil line and innumerable other subpoints could fill a book.

Still perhaps a better buy than 5S088 currently active on the Mecum Indy, estimated at 450-550k, which also shares many of these issues (sheetmetal) yet apparently is minus its Shelby American engine. Imagine having a 'Shelby' without a Shelby engine. Hmm.

In years long past, and inexplicably lost in the SAAC forum crash, cars offered on the open market would routinely receive a critical 'peer review' here on the forum.
Technical analyses, seemingly harsh upon first read, were factual--or corrected thru discussion here. This really helped the scholarship and fidelity of our marque IMO.
The copied ad says car #077 and engine #088. So is the engine in this car belong to the one in the Mecum auction you mentioned?  Or were engines possibly swapped during build(don't know if engines were pulled at SA). Gary

i don't understand your comment ?  the picture of Ford vin on the block is matching the  Ford vin  for 077 , so no mix here ...original block maybe ...
