I will be there.  Getting Judged.  I was going to take my 2023 P-47 THUNDERHAWK Mustang but instead, I will be in the BLACK HAT EDITION Mustang.  Cruising up on Thursday.  I hope to cruise over to the MUSTANG MUSEUM OF AMERICA over in Odenville 20 Minutes North of the Track.

Talking about the Rear Spoiler, My Memory is not as good as it used to be but, I remember a story a while back, either here or in Mustang Monthly Magazine about a man who designed the Trunk Spoiler,  He had a Red 65/66 Mustang Fastback.  The Decklid and End Caps were one piece. 

Is that a REAL Shelby?

Soooo Jimmy Hoffa not buried there?

Where are the Photos?

Can you use the X-Plan with a Trade In?

Hard to say if it were a California Special which are coupes. That to me looks like a convertible.
If there were anyone who might know that would be Jeff Speegle. This is his stomping grounds. He would know most Shelby related cars in the area, I would believe.

Maybe, but I would think that the weight of what looks like part of the garage door laying on it would have easily deformed a convertible top.

I think the Fire took care of the Convertible Top.  That looks like a Roll Bar to me.

100% Random - you will not be able to predict what a missing Shelby Ford VIN is by those around it. I've seen the ledger.
65-67 - hey kid go grab a car so we can build it = gets closest car - there was no first in first out inventory plan adhered to.
66 you also have the color factor - they needed a kid who wasn't color blind = hey kid go get a red car.......

Thank you.  That answers it for me.

You may want to read this website.  Some of your questions are answered. - http://1965gt350mustang.com/numbers.html

Great Read but, did not really answer my question.  Here is an example of what I would like to know:  Grab 6 Random 1966 Shelby's and park them in Numeral Order according to the SAI VIN Plate. Pull the SAI VIN Plates off to expose the Factory VIN.  Will the first Shelby have a high Ford VIN then the others? Will the 3rd Shelby have a higher Ford Vin then the 6th one?  Did SAI use the Ford VIN to number the Shelby's?

Is your question about a specific year?

No, just 1965 - 1970's.  Some times, some weird thought will pop into my head and it wont leave.  This thought Intrigued me enough to ask.

Replica's are all well and good but the thing I hate the most is this question "Is it a real one?" which is a legitimate question.   That is why I wouldn't buy or even consider trading my original Shelby for a replica, continuation etc....  Anyone can buy a new replica, no one can buy your original Shelby unless you sale it to them :-).

Some will say "Yeah but who has the $millions to buy the real deal", okay I understand that, but unless your racing it, invest your money in a real one of what you can afford IMHO.

The Flaw here is: By the time I save up enough to buy a REAL one, I will be on my Deathbed and THEN, I couldn't afford the Insurance, and then, I'd be too afraid to drive it for fear of getting even a single Ding on it and then there is the Parts issues, need a Master Cylinder? Good luck finding one.  Soooo, a  Replica or Continuation could be MORE valuable then the "Real Deal" to some people. 

When it came to getting the Tags Stamped and Riveting them under the Hood over the Ford VIN. Number, how was that Decided which Car got which Number?  Could Car Number 5 have a Higher Ford Vin. Number than Car Number 12? I have Photos of SAI receiving Several Loads of Mustangs at the same time, did SAI use the Ford VIN Number to assign them SAI Numbers or was it fist one in is first one Numbered?

I just saw this on my news feed. A garage of a home east of Sacramento (Citrus Heights) went up in flames. In the pic I can see what looks like a red 67 Shelby convertible amount other cars according to CBS news. Sad

A "vert" would mean it's a '68.  Very sad to see it being consumed.

The Tail Light Panel tells you it is a 68.  News People do not know Cars.

Harvey  Phillip Spector, the eccentric and revolutionary music producer who transformed rock music with his "Wall of Sound" method and who later was convicted of murder owned the daytona coupe cobra

Why was the Exhaust done like that?

FORD PASS POINTS, has anyone used their yet?  What can you use them on?  I have just over 89,600 Points.
