Absolutely no longer important. The value is now in how many points the car scores not in the stories that were removed to return it to day 1 condition. Buyers today only look at the rarity not the accomplishments of the Marque.

    As for B.A.T. and their involvement in producing successful sales, check this one out!

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-ford-f-250-97/

    I have "attempted" to comment twice, in that the V.I.N. number being presented for this "F250 4 x 4" is not for such!  And the "Dealer/Seller" seems to be aware of an "issue", but also doesn't seem to be so very concerned!  Which is somewhat surprising, as part of the licensing agreement to become a "Dealer" states that the Dealer is responsible to establish that the "paperwork" at least seems reasonably proper, but to be passing knowingly "bad" paperwork can cost you your license (perhaps more)!   :o

    And then there is for example my efforts (and probably others) in commenting in which B.A.T. has chosen to hold while: "Your comment is being reviewed by BaT staff" and then has been removed as being considered "not constructive",  is now knowingly and actively participating in the sale of this vehicle!   ::)

   And then, as for the buyers, and what it is that they might find important,  just watch them continue to bid for the vehicle, even though there's enough commenting that B.A.T. allowed to "slip-through", that even if your not familiar with the proper V.I.N. configuration, should put one on notice!    :-\

    Scott.

I have an automatic KR that has a C8ZE-K1 dated 8DB my question is what was this used in? I have a S1 Radiator that I plan on putting in the car.
Thanks

Replicas and Tribute / Re: New Mod project
Last post by 68cobra427 - November 06, 2026, 12:40:12 PM
The manufactures mold built it 3/4 two wide. I had no choice but to. My body guy said no big deal for him. I will be adding a 10 wide stripe over it. This being a mod and not a real Shelby does not bother me to do this.

The company for the front bumper less nose is in Nevada. The hood does not seam to line up either. Will have to shave the front underside and move the hood forward and add some glass to the back.

Not a good fit at all. They will not answer the phone nor email once I received it.

I would be extra cautious on ant car coming from OK, there was a major VIN scandal there involving Shelbys

scam  ::)

Oklahoma assigned VIN. There was a problem with the original VIN on whatever chassis they started with so the state gave it a new one. The car could have been stolen and the numbers cut out or the panels were rusted and replaced.

Quote from: shlb69 on November 06, 2026, 09:49:20 AMIt says in the ad it is not a real car so wouldnt call it a scam. Someone is just selling a repo car and states so in the ad.

Yeah, I'm leaving it alone.
