As soon as I win the VIN tag being raffled on the other thread, I'm mounting it to my FFR so I can have a real 1 too.

I wonder if I should get my Kirkham "tech'ed" by Shelby American and convert to a Shelby CSX # and badge and make my Kirkham a Shelby instead.
How much would the Shelby CSX badge cost? Meh, who gives an S.

If you bought a 50th ann car 427 you would have it, its a Kirkham exactly, rebadged Shelby, they even used our billet suspension, Shelby how could you...

Holy cow.  You guys are still at this? 
There hasn't been a group of men so inept at trying accomplish something since the Keystone Cops. 
As you were. 
I check back in later.

The cost would probably be 5-10 in Leavenworth.

Actually, I've heard they've done it for other Kirkhams. The VIN remains the same, unaltered, but Shelby affixes it CSX plaque and charges a fee. And voila!

This sounds like an urban legend. Let's let someone who actually did it come forward. I'm not saying one way or the other, just being not from Missouri, but "show me".
I know of only one incidence of vehicles that were re-VIN'd. (Not) surprisingly they involved Shelby GT500s (after Shelby was out of it). The last remaining 1969 GT500s were re-VIN'd as 1970 model year cars. The FBI was present to destroy the 1969 VIN plates and supervise the new 1970 plates.
But of course by then, they were just "replicas".
It would be a bit of SAAC history to know the original 1969 VINs or which 1970 VINs they became but I've never seen it come up anywhere.

Well I proved you wrong earlier in the thread when I posted the Morgester/fraud/criminal cases back in 2007.
Anyway, the Shelby and Kirkham are the same car. Shelby buys the bodies and chassis from Kirkham and the 50th Anniversary Shelby is a complete Kirkham. Nonetheless there are several entries of at least one individual who purchased a few Kirkhams "with the intention of being finished as Shelby." I'll let you look them up since you could use some exercise.

Quotes aren't needed, the modern Shelbys are replicas. See Ned's posts above.

Funny, I heard the fountain of youth really exists. Maybe that's where the re-badging operation takes place too.

If you did you would have to downgrade on suspension and brakes, maybe take a hammer to the chassis and weaken it a bit
