Survey of ALL 65 owners on passenger side SFM stampings

After striping SFM 5 017, the SFM stamping on the passenger side was found forward of what would be considered the "Norm". I have seen this on one other car, and know of another original 2 digit car where the owner has been unable to find his SFM stamping at all (and yes, it is a legit car)
I spoke with and had an email "conversation" with Howard recently about a time years ago when I watched him closely studying VIN tags and related my findings about the SFM issue to him. Howard has asked that I start this thread to determine where the passenger side stampings are on as many cars as possible.
If you have a 65 GT350, or know of one that you can get the info off of, kindly email me directly, please see Howard's email to me below for further info.



Mike,

I think you have a good idea there to contact other early car owners to see where their SFM number is stamped. It might be a good idea to ask them to send you some photos:
1. A close-up of the SFM stamping
2. A farther away shot of the SFM stamping so you can see where it is on the fender apron
3. A close-up of the Shelby serial number tag

In addition, please include what level of originality you prescribe to the car, if any (original - unrestored, undergoing restoration, restored, etc.)
Please email any responses or questions to: Shelby6t5@aol.com

PLEASE use the Macro setting on your camera if possible.

Thank you.

Mike

 

17's is very near to the front of the apron, above where the battery would be (if it were a front battery car.)
