It's an "S".

By Dave Shoe - 12/29/2001 4:20:43 PM; IP 216.243.158.113

In both 1967 and 1968, Ford used the "S" designation in the VIN of Shelby Mustangs, apparently because there was no protocol established for installing a 428 into the car.

The GT-500s were apparently built up as 390 Mustangs, except when it came time to drop in the engine, as an adapted 428PI engine went in instead.

When the 428CJ came out, Ford had a full set of assembly plans for dropping the engine package into the Mustang, and these carried over to the Shelby without a fuss.

The Shelby American Registry details this the best. It's a $120-or-so phonebook sized publication which gets revised every few years, and it details the known history of every Shelby serial number ever made, including options and owners names. You will find the data summaries exceptional, assuming you are the type of person who digs data summaries in the first place.
