So you are saying that tags were already made up during the 1960s to support the completion chassis? By already made up I am under the belief that the chassis numbers were already stamped or scribed with their individual CSX numbers? I am sure that blank chassis tags would have been readily available but pre-stamped chassis tags? Why when they were typically hand scribed to begin with? Do you have evidence of this?[/quote]
The VIN plates were supposedly made to fool the FIA, into thinking Shelby had the cars on the way from AC, he didn't. The big question is, are there any VINs still out there? Of course, it could just be Carroll, trying to make up a story of how he just happened to have the unassigned numbers laying around? The more I think about it, the more I think it probably was the last explanation! Cheers, Dennis
