renegaderadio Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hello everyone I am new to the Shelby world although def not new to mustangs but of course I have the Shelby rookie questions. How can you confirm a real Shelby GT from a knock off? I have seen some with cracked stripes advertised, is that paint or a wrap/decal? Van it be repaired or just stay away? I really wanna get into a Shelby GT but again I M new to the Shelby world and I don't want to get taken. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsybtch Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 1. A real Shelby GT will have a dash plaque and an underhood ID plate, but the best way to tell is to get the CSM # and the VIN of the car and run it by the folks at Shelby as the built them and have the records to verify. Contact Steve who goes by - shelbymotorsports on here as he has been real helpful in these matters 2. The stripes are a vinyl decal and they don't last too terribly long (depending on how they're cared for)They are kind of expensive to replace the option is to have them painted on (which is more expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblectric Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Start by redaing everything in the SGT section of this forum. You will learn everything you need to know. It will take some time, but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_GT350 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I believe there are a few on here for sale that can be confirmed rather quickly. Also if you think you found one (specially if it's out of your area) and want to make sure or have it looked at, there are several folks on here that will check it out for you, just ask.

Larry T Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ask lots of questions, here and to the seller, because the seller should know what they have .... but always remember buyer beware, so do your homework before handing over the cash.
