RE: So what is a '67 GT500 vin? |

So what you're saying is that the '67 Shelby 'stangs got their own brand new VIN? Because what you're providing there Z6741 etc. is not at all a "normal" FoMoCo production VIN. And underneath the Shelby plate is a Ford number? I have a hunch the Ford number may have the letter -S- 5th unit in....
This is probably all old stuff to Shelby experts. I'm kind of embarassed that I don't know but like I've said before, I keep a learnin' and an open mind. I was actually there in those days but we didn't give a damn about any serial numbers & VINs. It was a Shelby and there was no need for checking numbers. But I understand why it's important to have the documentation now.
The closest I've ever come to owning a Shelby......I have a genuine '67 GT 500 Shelby aluminum wheel bolted on the wall of my shop. It's purpose? It's my compressor air hose holder of course! Like there could be something else I could be doing with it! Don't get pissed. It was run into a curb many years ago by a friend. He had a lime gold GT 500/automatic. He was drunk and hit a curb. This was in the early '70s. He replaced with another (probably a Cragar SS!) and had this one I have stashed. Gave it to me one day to take to a swap meet. I kept it in the cab of the F100. Couldn't sell it...... Nice conversation hose holder. |
