Quote from: cougarss428 on December 21, 2025, 08:55:39 PMI'm a little confused here. I own a 2016 GT-H, Car#54 (that is the number assigned by Shelby). Yes the car was a Ford VIN numbered Mustang GT before going to Shelby & Hertz.

Weren't ALL (1960's to current) Shelby Mustangs produced by Ford FIRST with a Ford VIN Number? Weren't those VIN'd Ford Mustangs then sent to Shelby? Don't all those ORIGINAL Shelby Mustangs have a Ford VIN number as well.

The only difference I see here is that the cars were SOLD to Hertz instead of the general public first.

Either way, I still own 1 of 172 50th Anniversary Hertz Shelby's produced that was actually modified by Shelby American and not built by Ford SVT/Performance etc. It doesn't matter who's parts went on the car, more that who installed them. For the record, not all of the parts installed by Shelby American were Ford Performance Parts. There were some Shelby Only items as well (mostly cosmetic).

Just my 2 cents worth

Still one of the real ones.

And compare the VIN stamp on the restored car, to the pic of the "original " on the carcus. I don't think it was cut out and welded in.

Quote from: aj on January 13, 2026, 02:46:03 PMAfter comparing stamping font alignment adjutment disc etc Im of the opinion the z7zd shocks on ebay are replicas of early 69 shelby. Still likely worth good coin but

Was checking for the same details but the alignment of lines and letters as well as fonts for a couple of numbers/letters vary on the originals I have examples of. What I do see on the ones for sale is that they seem to be the same fonts as some of the examples of the reproduction I have pictures of but those are for earlier years and I'm unsure if Dan used the same pattern/layout, of the lower info, on all or he did them differently for different years.

Of course using picture to confirm details can be difficult since the curvature of the shocks makes for a challenge in this sort of checking and comparing of details.

All I'll say that it is easy and possible to fake the VIN on a car of that era. It would be more believable if it was inspected as found. https://restostamps.com/collections/all/mustang-stamps?srsltid=AfmBOoqK4IIqMBge1UCuKnmjivU0GxpJUUNCwPn7z2U-MLqjjXB3jmTS
Find a wreck. Change the VIN and add some known tells. Then let it sit for a couple years so the changes weather and presto a $200 wreck becomes a multi million dollar car.

The Z7ZD A shocks in ebay are dated too late to be 68 shocks.

Wondering if these are authentic or the previous work of Dan Patch. Ebayer is listing some rare stuff but only has 1 transaction review so a bit of an unknown. Id think a guy with these sorts of parts would be known by this crowd. Anyone ?
