Title: Alert!! Replica Stamped with 6S455
Post by: GT350AUS on March 29, 2022, 11:59:25 PM
I owned this car but no stamp on the tag when I had it. Now it's up for Sale and has been stamped 6S455

Car has had work since I owned it but none the less this shouldn't happen.

Alert to the actual owner of 6S455

Please read with sarcasm: "I would never put a Shelby tag on my tribute"

   Replica , Clone, Tribute , in the blank area will keep you out of the Gray Bar Hotel .
   Using numbers will get you free access! VIN tampering as it's called is a serious offense.

Actual VIN of the replica is:  5F09T668455   

I assume that the last 3 digits of the VIN was used on the Shelby VIN tag.

Wow!  That is not even close to looking correct if that was the goal.

I would prefer  "replica" on the tag or better yet, no tag at all, just a plate stating "Not A Real Shelby". 8)

I would say that I've never seen a "real" stamping quite like that?
