The serial # is 5T09AI8XXX. shelby tag is S5446

Also, in 65 they only made S562 (I think, I could be off a few) GT 350s.....the last one would be S562..........none were made with a 4 digit number after the S..... the S, stands for "street", there were 37 made with the R designation, that stood for "race"..........
Also, all cars that were shipped to the Shelby plant to be made into GT 350s were shipped from the San Jose plant and the VIN should have 5R in the first two digits, not 5T!!!!!!!!!!!
Clearly if someone paid 15k for this car, they paid way too much for an A code rust bucket fastback......the new owner will soon find out it is NOT an original Shelby.....if it was an original Shelby, it may have brought as much as 25k to 40k in it's present condition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Shelby tags were made by more than one repro company and may still be in production and it's very easy to get one and stamp whatever # you want on it....the only real way to tell is the Ford VIN, SAAC has all the Ford VINs that were used on the original Shelbys.............
