not if its a Shelby. I have had S code 390 Mustangs though presented for sale as Shelby's, even with all the right stuff on them and it was hard to tell when a knowledgable shyster knew what he was doing. This was long ago and would be hard to do today of course. There was always one sure fire way to tell at a glance if it was a fake. I would look behind the front spring eye for the unique to 67 "hopper stoppers" that were cast w/C7ZX base and were nothing more than a pinion snubber. These were never offered as a replacement when just about everything else was. Naturally this did not make me a very popular person with the seller or person at car shows trying to pass it off as genuine. I am not a member of SAAC as I like my privacy and remember when a person (name withheld) absconded with everybody's money from the original club, (not SAAC) kind of like when Arntz took off to Brazil with Millions of dollars in orders for the first kit car Cobra and left a bad taste in everybody's mouth. The 67 has the hardest research capabilities as records are virtually non-existant. I am looking forward to the day when I can start posting pictures, as one of them will be of a friend's supercharged Medium Riser 67 GT-500 with Paxton blower, ordered right from Holman-Moody brand new. This car was stripped of engine and wheels when overseas and waiting up on blocks from a return of overseas tour of duty right on the docks of the base. |
