Without any Ford numbers stamped in panels or a Shelby tag I'm not sure how you would do that?

Because if you can, whats stopping anyone else from picking a number?

I'm sure he will say he has a lot of "evidence", but then the question becomes how much circumstantial evidence is good enough?

I guess everyone has to decide for themselves.

No, I don't think will pass the smell test if its just the transmission, but maybe others feel differently?

I'm looking for 9F02M480004. Have you seen it?

      We've had an awful lot of "homeless" top-loaders pass though the shop!

      But, we never thought to look for a "good" V.I.N.!  ::)

A tag by itself has no provenance. It's only a tag that at one time was attached to a Mustang that went through SA. The registrar can undoubtably match up the SA VIN with the Ford VIN but without the owner being able to cite the Ford VIN the car does not exist.

And even then, those alone does not make, what ever it is, a Shelby or a car that was a Shelby at one point as pointed out in the letter that is sent with the confirmation letter sent to those that inquire.
