It doesn't look like there is any holes drilled in the apron where the Shelby tag would have been. Does #100 and #139 have Shelby tags?  Also, did they stamp the Shelby vin in the right shock tower apron of all of production cars or did some of the early cars not get Shelby vin stamped?

Yes #100 and 139 had the Shelby tags and the apron stamped Shelby VIN . It was typical for production cars to get the apron stamped too.

Hello,

Please see the attached photos of 0100.  The first photo is an enlargement of part of a photo that was taken by Motor Trend of 0100's engine compartment on 12/12/66. The second photo is an enlargement of part of a photo that was taken by Sports Car Graphic of 0100's engine compartment on 12/9/66.


Thanks,
Eric

Thanks Eric and Bob for clarifying that. Am I just not seeing holes where tag once was?

Apparently Little red didn't get a Shelby vin tag because there doesn't appear to be any holes for the rivets.

That's just a bad picture...
The previous link in this thread to Brian Styles unveiling photos shows it is an "S". We can see it is heavily stamped compared to the rest of the letters.

+1 Its just a bad angle. One reason you always take multiples

The engine code stamping matches other indicators/details you can see in other pictures

 Is it just me or is the rad support top rubber strip screwed on?  ;)

#100
There are no holes for a Shelby VIN tag present

It is held on with small rivets and washers.

Interestingly, there appear to be two side rubber strips to seal the radiator to the opening. They have the same rivets.

I will be posting some more pictures soon

The seal also has witness marks/holes for the staples so it may have been removed and reattached with they modified the radiator opening and attached that non- Ford seal

The VIN is plainly visible in this link previously supplied in this thread, but if it is hard to see here is an enlargement.
