Help please, this people are killing me. thanks As long as your VIN & CSM match up AND you have registered (or updated) your SGT with Shelby American (see below my signature), you can request a Certificate Of Authenticity from the Shelby Store for nothing more than the $9.99 (outside US) shipping charges...

Help please, this people are killing me. thanks You may purchase a duplicate Shelby window sticker thru the Shelby Store ( www.shelbystore.com ) Not only does it contain your vin number, CSM number and the price for the Shelby conversion but it shows what modifications Shelby Automobiles made to the car.

Its illegal to have sticker stripes here, they have to be painted and I'll not re-paint my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Churbaji 08SGT1020 It could also be said the the SGT is just a little more Shelby than the GT500s since it was converted to a SGT at Shelby Autos in Las Vegas whereas the GT500s never went to Shelby; they came right out of the Ford plant. Only SGTs and GT500KRs can say that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture is taken in Shelby Tx. It's between Bellville and Fayetteville. Just a little NW of industry. It's just a little spot in the road. Does show up on too many maps. BTW it is such a small town that the "whole" town is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure didn't intend too. I was just stating the the facts about the cars. They are all great cars and they are all Shelbys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I am not offended but Some GT500s do come right out of the Ford plant and get converted into something else at SAI But a Shelby is a Shelby is a Shelby :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchurbaji Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Aaah, I see. So are the side stripes painted? No they are not, the traffic dep. focus on the main bumper to bumper sticker only As far the side sticker doesn’t cover a big part of your car, you’re all right.

kahmann Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The question is, "when did it go to Vegas?"... That's it. Jer Well what about all the 60's GT500's that were built in Michigan?

Jer Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well what about all the 60's GT500's that were built in Michigan? Those aren't 'real' Shelbys either or what?! Built by Shelby, or built by Ford? Late 60's / Early 70's GT500s aren't the same, to me... others have different opinions, they're welcome to have them. But once Bunkie Knudsen started building "fat Shelbys" in the Ford plant, I didn't care for them. Just my 2 cents, and plenty of people disagree with me, and they're entitled to that opinion, whatever. To ME, when Carroll helped Mustangs beat the pack at the racetrack (GT350), well... THAT was the real era. What a lawyer calls a "Shelby" is something else. Flame suit firmly on and buttoned up... Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpow96 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 You know, after years of reading posts flaring up intra-Shelby squabbles on this site, I now lump them into the same category as the intra-service debates about which branch of the military is better (Navy BTW). But when it really matters, like when an Air Force air traffic controller directs a Marine jet flying off a Navy ship to drop ordinance in support of an Army company engaged in a firefight, it's the Team than counts. Or on a much smaller and safer scale, when a Shelby owner all the way over in Qatar asks for help, it's TS members from different "branches" who all pitch in. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
