Congratulations!  Gorgeous car!

I hope to make it to Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this year.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Coralsnake, however the link only shows placement. 

I am looking to by a pair of the Cobras and want to confirm they are the right height and width.

Take care

Glad to hear that!

Now we need to get you into a real Shelby!

Thank you all for the advice.

This forum is fantastic!

Can someone please give me the exact dimensions of the Cobra emblem that is on the fender of a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR?

Thanks in advance.

For what it is worth, I inquired about that vehicle several years ago and was completely put off when I received photos of the VIN's.  It was very obvious it was fake and they were trying to sell a stolen/misrepresented vehicle.

I contacted the state police there and forwarded them the information. Unfortunately I never heard back, nor did I bother to contact them back.

A little bit about myself, I have been in Law Enforcement for over 30 years and held every rank from  patrolman (yes, that is what we were called back then, it's not PC now) to Detective, to Chief of Police. With that said, everything Coralsnake, shelbydoug and BGlover67 have stated is true. It looks like the real one has shown up, hence just the possession of the vehicle is a crime, though not likely to be prosecuted with the facts you stated.  But you will have it seized at some point unless you are pro active and start the process to get a new VIN, which your current state can help you with.  Hopefully you can find another Ford VIN stamped somewhere and use that.  That would probably be the cleanest way to get this resolved.

I was fortunate when I finally did buy my 2 Shelby's and contacted Vinny about their history (thanks Vinny).

I wish you well my friend, and hope you get in front of this before it bites you.

An email was just sent out today stating they are working on the details and should have a schedule and other pertinent information soon.

I have a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR and I am looking to replace the leaf springs. 

My question is, how can I identify original or period correct leaf springs.  What numbers or identifiers will help me?

I'm attaching a picture of the current leaf spring with numbers

Thanks in advance
