    Here's why: the owner makes no secret about the point that it is a clone.
    BUT: is has a Shelby repop VIN tag on it identifing it as car #111 or 777. when I emailed him about the fact that the police could impound the car pending an investigation, and, what if the real car #111 or #777 is still out there, where did he get his Vin info from? I suggested he get out the drill and get that VIN plate off of the car.
    His reply was just mumbo-jumbo. I suggested that maybe he ought to check out a web forum about VIN number switching.
    OK, I know it would not be car #111, as that would have been built as a Gt350, and I did not look up car number 777 to see if that was a GT 500, put any time now, there will be somebody showing up on this forum with the car, "thinking it is a real one."

    it is the same guy that had the White GT350H Clone/fake car a couple days ago. he is just using a different ebay ID. again it is another fine Clone I must admit and priced accordingly. try and build one cheaper. the real fault lies with the Mustang supply companies that sell the blank tags. they should only be available through SAAC. and if you need one, your car should be bnrought in for inspection for verification. plain and simple! :cigar:

    I'm sick of Evil Bay all together. I think there needs to be some sanity checks done on ads, a replica belongs in the replica section, Shelby's on the Shelby page, Clone Mustangs in the Mustang section. I put my head thru my monitor this morning, with some clown selling his "Shelby Cobra couch" on the Shelby page..... Even worse on the commercial truck section, is guys selling trucks put "not Kenworth, not Peterbilt, not Mack".... etc in their title, so whatever brand is being searched filters in their stuff. Last year on Evil Bay there was a rash of Shelby's being "advertised", with ridiculous prices, and I could search the web and usually find the photos that these jerks were using, like in front of Mershons, or right from Hemmings, trying to find a sucker. Ebay, to me, serves me no purpose. I think every ad needs a photo of the person posting, just so I can look at it, and know, "Oh, that's why this is so ridiculous"..... My .02.....

    Gee, David. What would you say if he happened to just "pick" your car's VIn??
    Why don't they sell a Vin plate -Shelby replicat one, that has the center punched out so it would not cover the original Ford's VIN?

    And, I don't have a problem with a clone. I want to build another one myself, but I won't be plucking any old vin over the original Vin.
