Up For Auction / Re: SFM6S1213 on BAT

I'm at a loss why bat didn't insist on posting a photo of the Shelby vin stamp and bidders have not insisted on seeing it.

Up For Auction / CL Scam Involving Shelby’s for...

Last post by JWH - November 02, 2026, 06:58:29 PM

In the last few days, there was a dusty but complete, barn-find Lime Green '67 GT500 listed for sale in the upper northwest and a few days later a dusty but complete red GT500KR listed for sale here in Denver, Colorado. Both had asking prices in the $60,000 area. The seller seems to know his way around Shelby's. There may be other dusty, barn find ads for Shelby's like this that I have not seen. These are a scam so use caution of you see them.

Is the side mirror in the wrong location because mine seems to be  farther forward.

Agreed, typical 66 location is more forward.

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: LED Light Kit

I've gone to an LED in my Model A dash. I found it much better. Yes Apples to Oranges to some extent but the old bulb gave off the typical yellowish incandescent glow where the LED has a much brighter blueish white output (It's bright enough I'm thinking of swapping it out for a red one that won't effect night vision). The down side of LED conversions is using them in turn signals. They don't draw enough current for the flashers to work right so you have to change that to an electronic one.
Check prices on FleaBay or one of the LED suppliers. Small bulbs are $2-3 each on those sites. You can find a chart online that will tell you which bulb you need if there isn't a direct replacement number - you'll need to know diameter, pin location, contact placement, voltage.

A shame he put the ford vin out there

Not as big a deal as you'd think. The way they were batch built at Ford then stored and pulled to be built at SA was a real crap shoot. Toss in the colors for 66 and you really reduce your chances to guess the Ford/Shelby number. That minimum wage lot boy grabbed the nearest car to stick on the line he didn't care if there was an older one a little further back in line. There was no pattern that would allow you to guess and create a "missing" car without having the ledger in your hands. Even if you knew every SA and Ford number of the cars that still exist I'd wager the odds of guessing a number correctly would be less that 20%. It would be fun to make a list of the Ford numbers and sort them as to the date they got built. 40+ years ago I did have the original ledger in my hands for a few minutes and noticed there was no rhyme or reason to how the Ford numbers connected to the Shelby numbers.

I think only the steel frame hoods retained the stock latch.
