Title

Back in the day, the old lady at the dealer, the ONLY one who would be allowed to touch the paperwork, typed in XXXX Ford, and that was it. No Falcon, no Galaxie, no nothing.
All you need to do, is to find a nice person at whatever license/title place you go to, and request that they type the information in for the new title "this way".
There are some DMV's though, that you may want to walk out of. Be prepared.

Also, photostat your current title. Leaves a longer paper trail. Most DMV's need to keep the old title.

 

I had the same questions when I bought my father's 66 gt 350, His original Colorado title said Shelby yet his most recent title here in Minnesota said Ford. I guess it's not a big deal as long as the vin number is correct in stating that the car is a Shelby. Have a look at the posts I got when I asked the same question on this forum a while back.

What state are moving to. I got my title to say Shelby in Ohio when I bought it. They gave me a hard time but I insisted and even made them walk out and look at the vin plate saying Shelby on it.

 

you are asking for a headache, ...and having Shelby on the title won't make it worth more, or go faster. Many, , many Shelby (Mustangs) are titled as Fords. It would be interesting to know the %.
