The above mentioned GT350 being offered for sale in Columbus, Indiana. It has some suspicious things going on with the VIN and I wanted to alert other SAAC members that might be interested in the car. First of all, the Shelby tag has been removed, which is never a good thing. What the seller will not disclose is that there is no Ford VIN stamp under where the tag would be riveted, also a bad thing. In fact, there are no holes present in the apron to attach the tag into. The tag itself appears to have been "torn of" the apron at some point as both of the rivet holes are ripped at the edges. I realize that this may be simply he a replacement apron, all though it looks like its been on there a long time. I am not looking for endless debates about about what this may or may not mean in the grand scheme of things, what I am trying to do is save some people some heartache. Please draw your own conclusions and, as is the case with anything, be very careful when purchasing things of this nature. Please see the pictures that I have posted. Have a good day everyone.

 I sold this car to the current owner about 10 months ago, here in British Columbia. Since then it has been on Craigslist for several months and did not sell. You are all correct in your assumptions about the bidding. At $89,000 USD it is ridiculously over-priced.

Thanks man, (Shelby_0022), getting close but needs a lot of TLC. Someday it will warm up again and we can clean her up a bit.

Obviously lots more work to do on the beast but there seems to be more parts on the car than on the garage floor these days which is a pretty good sign. Really wouldn't mind if it warmed up a little bit too, sunny today but cold as hell! Many thanks to the people on here, even the mean ones, for helping me get this far along. All of your help and encouragement is much appreciated. Those of you in Florida or S Cal, be solid and send a little warm weather north will ya?

Hi guys, these cats are called Servals. (the ones with leopard like markings), and Caracals. All of these guys are on a raw food diet so they are pretty cheap to feed. They eat chicken mostly, whole baby quail, mice rats, beef and pork. They love prawns. If you take them outside they walk like a dog. If they see a lizard or a mouse, they will have pounced on it and eaten it by the time you react. Lightning fast. They chirp like birds and can jump about 12 feet straight up. They are not vicious and actually sleep in our room with us. Completely house trained. They generally spray in their litter box but if they want your attention, (well my wife's attention), one of the cats will point his business end at her and if she doesn't  comply well, enough said. They are considered exotics here to, some areas ban them, some don't. Like most cats they sleep a lot so the do not need must attention. The Caracal is "my" cat per se which means the minute I get home from work I get to take him for a walk. He also like to hang around the garage while I am working on the Shelby. He's my right hand man.

Good eye my friend, yup Caracal! Super friendly, he just turned 1 year old on Feb 12 and he is 40lbs. He has a couple of friends that are African Servals which are about the same size. Here's the Serval, had this picture up yesterday until the entire "Feline Friday" post magically disappeared. Hard to believe that anyone could be butt hurt by a few cat pictures but you never know I guess.

Excellent points you guys and thank you. When I bought my car no so long ago some of the members were of great help in helping me authenticate my car. At that time, I updated my cars info in the registry so I am with you there.
