Now c'mon..... us Canadians are Shelby owners too.....!

No I'm not hoping they are originals at all... just wanting to know how old they are and wondering if they are safe to drive on temporarily .... until I figure out what to put on it. Seems like the general consensus is BFG 225/60-15s ....

Well... the car is here now, and sure enough no DOT numbers or date code on these tires.

Is it possible to be on the in side ....?

OK... great, I'm hoping they aren't that old and can be utilized from time to time.

I will look for other markings and post as soon as I can.

I appreciate the assistance.

Thanks for responding..... do the pictured numbers mean anything ?

Dave,

I have sent you a PM regarding #2597

Thank You,

So a friend on the left coast is looking at a '67 GT350 with big letter 350s on it.

He is saying there is no DOT numbers or date code...... pre-1971 ?   Is that possible......?

The picture shows the only numbers on the tire, other than size.

What do the experts say.......

The reason I asked......

Big,

Are those stripes silver ?   What's the story on those.....?  I'll bet they are quite striking.......

Thanks,
Bob

Not because I'm Irish...... but I think it is probably the most underrated color ......

My trans has only the last four digits of the ford VIN not the whole number. David

That's one of the reasons I asked as well..... mine only has 4 as well....?

...and no VIN on the block. I wonder if there is a correlation between these two things?

David

If big block no reason to think so . If smallblock maybe.

Yes - smallblock #2751

My s/n is very close to this, and also have the last 4 on the trans, and nothing on the block.

So let me know get this straight.... its the Ford VIN that is stamped on the passenger side of the block, and the lift pad on the bottom of the trans case ?

Full VIN on the block, and partial on the trans ?

Thanks in advance.

2597 is Z stamped.
