I just don't know if any registrys exist on early K code cars and any help would be appreciated. I am looking at a 65 fastback K code and have some concerns. The vehicle VIN is 5F09K749605. I am having a difficult time determining if the block is original, and is a K code block.  Does anyone know of this car b the VIN or any history.  I did see that it went thru Mecum, but nothing since then.


You will never know if a block is original, they can be re-stamped and there are lots of 289's that would fit the date range for any given build date. You should be way more concerned if the body and body numbers are real, that's the car.

What did you buy?

How much was it?

What was missing or broken?

Did you pay for shipping insurance?

Do you have photo's of the box damage?

Without facts your post becomes a strawman argument.

@427hunter - I decided to post to your comment so here are the facts :

What did you buy? 4 Koni Shocks

How much was it?  $ 400 plus sellers shipping fee of $ 25

What was missing or broken? 4 Koni shocks shipped in a USPS Large flat rate USPS box. Rear shock shaft ripped through the corner of box and 2 of the 4 shocks fell out. 18 pounds were shipped in this box and 9.8 lbs arrived. Due to tracking delay and experience, I determined there was a problem so I went directly to the post office to pick up package vs wait for delivery. Once there, I took pictures and videos of Postal employee opening the box for me. In case this information was needed for the seller and USPS.

Did you pay for shipping insurance? Seller charged me $ 25 dollars and promised to pack the package well. Minimum insurance $ 100 was paid by seller

Do you have photo's of the box damage? Yes, photos and a video.

Without facts your post becomes a strawman argument. These are the facts and so its time to move on. I determined after phone calls and text messages that it was best to come to an agreement and for me to go forward














You are owed a refund 100% - I am glad you explained the issue because the last thing we need is more drama here. Too often petty nonsense gets exaggerated, clearly that is not the case here.

The lettering is raised not etched in the tag.
How it works - a negative is produced of what the tag should look like. The material has a coating on it. The negative is placed on the material and exposed - like film. The light hardens the coating and the rest (not exposed to light) is then washed off. The material is then put into an acid. Where the metal is not protected by the coating it it eaten away (on the SA tags it's the background not the letters - making the letters seem raised). It's then washed (different bath) to get the hardened coating off and the lower etched area is then filled with paint.


The letters don't "seem raised" they are - Here is a photo that shows the raised letters.

The etching refers basically to the art work and not the vin numbers and letters. 65 ,66 and 67 tags are metal stamped.68 are raised.


Rub your fingers over all the lettering and CS logo, it's not flat it's raised.

The original tags have raised lettering and stamped numbers - all the fake tags have silkscreened lettering- so there are no “correct fake tags”. If I was missing my tag I would buy the best looking silk screen tag and hand stamp it to my number - 99.9% of people would not know what a real tag looks like anyway.

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: 1 of 1 1969 G code "48" Shelby VIN Car
« on: March 05, 2023, 11:11:12 AM »
The fantastic information and photographs provided by members (some who were past owners) explained the car in question - it is a boss 302 G code with the Shelby 48 in the vin. The vehicle was not sent to A.O. Smith and left Dearborn as a boss 302 mustang.

Unfortunately because of juvenile behavior the thread was destroyed. The constant attempt to make definitive statements about the intent of corporations and deceased people is a waste of time. Please let the facts speak for themselves, if you have no knowledge about a subject then your two cents really are not needed.
