Vernon,

I think my words in the closing sentence of my post were not artfully chosen. I think I understand what you have said in your explanation vis-à-vis the creation of the documents and the fact that they were produced by Shelby American for distribution to racers. I believe it is fair to say they are Shelby American facsimiles of the original documents or as you accurately represented above "factory copies" ... produced ... off of a hand signed form in 1965.

As I looked at them I was evaluating them as if they were the actual original documents which you are advising they are not. If I read your commentary correctly they are Shelby American duplications of those original documents provided to prove homologation to a track official that may challenge the homologation status of an owner's car.

Duplication status notwithstanding, the fact they were created by and distributed by Shelby American does substantially enhance their value and simultaneously explain the visual cues that suggested they were reproductions.

In the end quite interesting and also unique documents. My apologies for the in-artful choice of words.
