This is why I am such a PITA

Here is a great example of why I am so particular about what people have or "think" they have.

This is a fake Shelby GT where the guy has taken a 2006 GT/CS and thrown a SGT plate from a wreck and selling it as a Shelby GT for $28K! Never mind there was no 2006 Shelby GT and nothing about the car is right the seller is running a scam. Heck they might actually think it is a Shelby GT!

Someone that doesn't know any better will buy it thinking they have a Shelby GT just like a member here bought something, we still don't know what it is, under the understanding it was a GT350. We also have someone here that's claiming to have a 2006 GT500 prototype when Ford NEVER sells working prototypes that can be titled and registered. What you do see a lot of is people selling GT's with GT500 body parts and calling them all sorts of things again I am awaiting some documentation on that one too.

There are a lot of crooks out there and I hate seeing people get ripped off worse people that seem not to have done even the most basic of research before they bought the car.

Anyone out there looking for a REAL Shelby should contact the SVT line in the case of a GT500 or Shelby American in the case of a Shelby GT, Shelby GT/SC, Super Snake, 40th, KR, or GT350. In other words there are sources to verify these things so there is NO EXCUSE for buying a fake.

Good luck and sorry if I come off, as has been said, "like a jerk", but after years of this and these fakes, my frustration is high.

 

Whoa!

Here's another fake late model Shelby from a FORD DEALER no less!

Oh the humanity!

 

Awww...good point!

It's a bunch of bolt on parts on a 2006 GT the year being the ONLY thing he can't fake due to the title.
