    Hello all. I have found what is supposed to be a Shelby GT500 here in Thailand.
    The engine and chassis numbers are,
    1T01F-129705

    I am assuming it's not genuine, but in the hope I am wrong, can anyone help with identifcation, and tell me what to look for?

    Already spent a couple of hours with google, with no definate results.

    It is not a 65 through 70 Shelby. It looks like a modified 71-72-73 Ford Mustang. However, do a Google search about the Shelby Europa.

    Thank you for taking the time to help. My conclusion is it's a copy, too many details incorrect.
    It's still a nice car, but the asking price much too high, in US$28,000

    What dealer nameplate is on the back of that car?

    I would agree it does not appear to be a Europa, too many details out of line.

    No disrespect meant, you asked a question, I confirmed the correct answer.

    PS: There is at least one original Shelby (a 69 GT350 fastback) in Thailand that I know of. Not sure if there are others......

    Wow, that's interesting. Actually it's surprising what does turn up here, a couple of years ago I saw a Delorean, first one I have ever seen in the flesh.

    I appreciate you all taking the time to help me with my enquiry.
