Yes, many of the items do indeed so "FOR RACING ONLY" or "FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY".......

Well David, Shelby of America still sells the car in the same configuration and these cars are approved by the Department of transportation (DOT).
When you order the car, you need to specify the tires - if you choose BB they WILL tell you these are NOT street legal.
Out of the window goes your aftermarket theory....sorry.

Approved as what????????? a kit car that does not conform to the Federal standards,that's why Shelby and ALL other manufacters can't make and sell a completed road ready car...DOT and the Feds do not regulate these cars as they regulate production cars,so therefore, not much if anything on these cars is DOT approved....they get by because they are exempt because they are considered "homebuilt" and not a production auto...
Can anyone site just one case where an insurer refused to pay a claim due to using non DOT legal tires????
