I don't know. Put me on the "We The People" list will you.
The Shelby American VIN IS the vin. I have never seen or heard of (until today) the Ford vin being acceptable. And, if the elderly or undertrained State employee doesn't understand that, then that is the time you ask them to go check with their supervisor for a little clarification.
Same thing with the numbers of digits in the vin, they don't know? Please ask your supervisor for guidance.
If that that does not get you satisfaction, collect the paperwork you brought in and go to another office.
And, I too want to see the list of States where that (accepting the Ford vin) is acceptable.
What does the title say it is?
+1 and many more.
Since when does any DMV, pull a tag off and take the number under it? Something is not right with that. I have had the DMV in NY change my car from a SHELBY to a FORD and visversa to where, when we moved to Tennessee I had it changed back, easy, they look in their manual and see what I am telling them is true and DONE! As far as States taxing value and all that other jazz, no wonder why at some car shows you see delapitated cars, that makes them cheaper to register. Believe me Hemmings value guide is NOT your friend.
On a lighter note, my one Shelby says, "SHELB" the other car says "SHLB" on their titles...LOL.....
