Rick,

Sorry that I upset you. I am not nor did I claim I know all of this stuff. This is what I was trying to find out. The reason I said vin was the paint shop told me to look at the vin tag on the door. Sorry I didn't make that part clear.

As for the Shelby's I didn't say they were Fords per sae. Ford delivered the Mustangs to Shelby in L.A. and they do have Ford numbers on them. Then as Shelby's bunch finished doing one they would get the next Shelby number and stick it on car over the Ford number. And they aren't in sequence as Shelby's guys didn't finish them in the order they were delivered. Example, Mustang #1 in the Ford sequence may be # 12 in the Shelby sequence depending on who finished which one first. That is the only way you can have a Shelby Mustang certified is by going to the SAAC and giving them your Shelby # and the Ford # and they have rthe records of which numbers should be together. That is what makes it almost impossible to pass a clone off as a real Shelby. This I know for a fact as they closed a classic car place down here a few years back for trying this. They had gotten hold of a Shelby tag somewhere and then fixed a clone Mustang and put the Shelby tag on the inner fender over the Ford number. That was ok but when a possible buyer called the numbers in to the SAAC to have them verified the craphit the fan.

I did mistate in my post about the Comet as they asked for the door tag but called it a vin. And I was asking about the Shelby numbers, I did not say that was what they were or that this state is even correct but I can read and I know what I saw on the title that guy showed me. I didn't state my question as clearly as I should have, but I was not making a statement of fact, just trying to clear up my own confusion over why one time out here it is one way and the next time it is something different.

Ron
