I think they would have a tough time on the production line without a build tag
🤡
A tag that is probably more ridiculous on a 68 or for that matter any concours Shelby or most cars from the 60's than the "Caution Fan" sticker is the white with red tag on the battery terminal. Those have been around since New Castle Battery company who was the original MFG of the repro Autolite battery started reproducing them over 30 years ago . The tag has now been reproduced because it has been around for so long that some uninformed people have forgotten the origin of the tag and mistakenly thought that it was Ford original and needed to be reproduced. New Castle Battery company put that tag on for liability reasons as a good business practice. The tag did not come on original Autolite batteries from the 60's.

To let a potential buyer, know that the car is not licensed to operate on the road - not registered. If done correctly in most states there would be no back fees or taxes owed but always good to check since this can mean thousands.
Also could be used to explain why there might not be any shots of the car being driven or on a drive as people often ask for in a running car.

That is curious, in my state of New Mexico, all you need is a clear title and you can have that transferred to you and register it to drive. Are there states where a registration is needed to do this?

Looks like you are stating the same thing. Transfer of ownership is a different step than registering to drive though almost always done at the same time. To save on licensing owners can save on the annual fees by getting a non-op which means the car can't be operated on public roads. In this way the state still makes some money not not all the taxes as they would if the car was not registered. Have one race car that I've handled this way for decades. Without the non-op when it came to transfer/sell the car and if it were purchased by another in Calif there would be thousands of dollars owed due often not a happy surprise for the new owner
OK, I see, I guess I never thought of not registering a car to drive on the highway.
Sold $181k. I missed the gold bars in the trunk
$189,388 all in with buyer fee. Are Shelby prices on their way up?
