Help Identifying a car
« on: August 11, 2020, 01:22:29 PM »
Hello!

I could use your collective intelligence and knowledge to determine what this car is.  Attached is a photo of the VIN plate to the vehicle.  Does this mean anything to anyone?  I am completely ignorant when it comes to these cars and really could use some help.

Thank you in advance.

Warmly,
Rick

I agree with The Chairman. This is not a Shelby product built in the 1960s.

It is some type of kit, continuation or after thought.

Thank you, gentlemen!

This is what I was coming up with as well.  But, I know very little. 

Whatever this poor girl is, she's had a rough recent life.  If you wouldn't mind looking at the photos to see anything about her that jumps out at you insofar as what she it.  I will modify this post to add some photos.

Thank you for your help!

I am certain,  the person that put the Shelby tag on the car would have never tried to pass it off as a real car.

It does look like the potential to be a fun car!

Only if the frame is not twisted at all. Otherwise it’s pretty moneypit

Rick, the car is a wrecked Superformance MkIII of approx. 1998 vintage.

Hello!
