This recently came up in another thread. I thought I would break it out so it will be easier to find later. The purpose of this thread is to document the cars, not make a judgement. If you know anything about this red car before 1998 please let me know. It came out of Las Vegas, Neveda
This red car was recently for sale in the Netherlands:

This car came from the US in 1998 and was exported to Norway, then the Netherlands
The gold car was for sale here in the US in 2022. It retains all its original identification tags.

Took a picture from the Registry.
Is 01767 supposed to be an AC car or a non-AC car? To me, adding AC or omitting AC would be a major Oh $hit mistake if I were cloning a Shelby.

Adding A/C on a non A/C car is typically looked at as a desirable add on by the driven majority as long as it is done like the factory in all but concours competing cars. Leaving off A/C on a factory A/C car however is definitely a value minus move.
I believe it originally had AC
Edit: I dont think 1767 originally had AC (not on build tag)
What does the registrar think? This will be one to haunt both owners. The gold car appears to be recently discovered. I vote for the gold car and would suspect someone grabbed an "unknown #" out of the registry to build the red one.
The gold one looks to possibly have had major damage to the right side - 1/4 replaced, inner & outer wheel wells, RR floor pan, R rocker. Maybe builder of red car saw it sitting w/damage and figured it would never be rebuilt.
But...... the red one does have a signed glove box door.
Red one looks suspicious
That is reproduction fiberglass. It appears the red car does have some original Shelby parts.
The car was listed with no owner history in the 1997 Registry
That is just before the red car history starts. Thats why it would be interesting to see if anyone knows about the car prior to 1998, just before the car went to Europe
Hello
I can confirm that the rumor that this car was fake was out shortly after this car came too Norway. What I remember was that the car was bought in Las Vegas from a man there who was involved in a mustang club there,sorry that I cant remember any name. The car has been on the market from time too time trying too sell it,obvious that was very difficult,now it is in Netherlands

I hope that SAAC had fixed the Tittle on the one below it (Gt3530).
The Shelby 350 is in the meantime sold
Most unfortunate
Hello
There was sent a warning from Norway to the dealer in the Netherlands that this car has a big chance of being fake,just a few minutes after the mail was sent, the car was set in sold "modus" on their web page. maybe they have put it in sold modus just to maybe investigate this further if they are serious.
Tor
That would be the best case scenario.
Hello
It has been confirmed that the dealer in Netherlands will take a deeper recheck of this car. It is good to hear that a used car dealer are honest an serious about what they are selling.

Hello
The car dealer in the Netherlands (Gallery Aaldering) has returned this car back to the owner,who is a German car collector after they had done some research on this car. Further notice has been forwarded to the German Mustang club fore info.
