Brian, welcome to the forum

Lets start at the beginning. Why do you  think this car is a "rebody" ?  Its very irresponsible to use that term unless there is recorded evidence or admission by an owner.

That type of accusation can stick with a car even when its not true.

If you want to buy a "real" Shelby you can buy them for $80k. Thats the price this car is listed for. Considering the place of the advertisement its more likely to be a fake ad.

Have you seen the car in person? All Shelbys are "in the registry" so Im guessing your question really is there any bad information about this car?

I seem to recall some similar ads just a while ago, using a real business in South Dakota. All fake. Why would they use Houston and Washington DC craigslist ads?

Didn't even make the effort to showing a picture of the real, fake or reproduction VIN tag  ::)

Did check the "sales site" and pretty much no history or condition report of the claimed car. Or additional pictures Typical historical verbiage we see so often

+1 Do a search and read the many threads on purchasing and pre- purchase inspections. PLEASE

Much better, considering where you are, IMHO if you could find a long term local car that fits your needs. Fair percentage come up in the state for sale.  Won't go into depth and repeat what we've all posted in the other threads already

Also take advantage of what the 67 Register can provide once you find a real car and are interested

Of course we don't know if the car in the ad is that car at this point and not all information for every car is included in the printed Registry

I think I have seen this car for sale years ago I think it was in Canada and I think I talked to the real seller then.

Exactly. Registry is an excellent resource but is only as good as the info the club receives

Heres a tip

Search for the contact information and do not use the links and numbers provided by the seller

In todays litigious society the Registry may not contain all that is "known" about a car. The Registrar may have info in his notes that he can not confirm since he has not personally inspected the car. He MAY share some of that info with you to make your own determination during YOUR pre purchase inspection. The club has had to defend itself on several occasions when they spoke out about cars and the owners felt that affected the value of their car. I know of no instance where they lost. One time they were even sued for not putting what an owner wanted the registry to say about his car. They knew it was false and refused. The judge wondered why the case even got filed. I just heard a bogus TransAm car has applied to run in the Historic TransAm again (after 7-8 years) with a new owner and new story. HTA discovered when and who built it (in the 80s) and when the info surfaced they removed it from their list of approved cars. Nothing came from the threatened lawsuit since the owner saw and accepted the evidence. He sold it (at a significant loss) and that buyer or a couple more down the line has now sold it to someone else apparently without the whole behind the scenes story.
