I think we discussed this back in 2020 too, but I can't find the old thread.


(Note...I haven't figured out how to post photos to the new format yet, but will soon.)

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

98SVT - was 06GT

Let's not forget the Donahue car was badly crashed and replaced with a T code (6 cyl) Fastback. It was also painted dark blue........

Was the story created before 002 came back from Mexico? The "documentation" has 2000 on it - and of course no signature.

Would think SAAC could verify with the Ford VIN?

so if I understand this ad,
  they have a vintage mustang with many vintage modifications that were typical of what was done in the past to mustangs used in competition?
  the car has clearly had VIN transferred from another body (state/federal offense? )
  they are trying to add "prototype GT350 R" attribute to boost value to an auction?

my simple conclusion is, this is:
an interesting vintage mustang with what appears to be vintage (back-in-the-day) race modifications, with troubling, possibly legal jeopardy VIN identification manipulation.

IF this was an authentic GT350 body then the RH apron SFMxxxxx stamping would be present OR it's removal evident!

otherwise it cannot claim to be anything other than an interesting old used mustang body

Famous name associated with the CAR or with the VIN#?

Most of the modifications are relevant to a drag race history. The air shocks, extended rear spring shackles and the transmission cut for a Super Shifter are typical drag race modifications. I question why anyone would put finish paint on a car before the other bodywork was completed. Looks like the wheelhouses, front frame rail extensions and floors still need quite a bit of work.

I saw, and looked over this car in person. It's a T code fastback with holes drilled various places to mimic a gt350r. Plain and simple. Vin doesn't appear to be a weld in, so the story of a stolen 350r with vin replaced is BS.

Car has a decent paint job on it, but it's not complete. Swiss Cheese floorboards, 8 inch rearend, no interior except for the interior 1/4 panels. There are absolutely no Shelby parts  on, or in this car whatsoever.

It would be a good candidate for a clone, but is just a roller, missing almost everything else.
