Thank you all.. I will get some more pics in there later.  I am putting in a new coolant recovery bottle right now, so no need to show her with all the tools atop the air filter.  I have to drill a new set of holes to mount it correctly or it would be a five min job.

How do I get a photo in here... might help a little

But to answer your questions, the VIN appears to be a Michigan VIN.  As for my location, I am just outside of Jacksonville.  I have had some of the guys that were racers back in the day from Lotus (friends with Shelby no less) look at the car and ask where the heck I found it, and not to let someone just take it for a FACTORY FIVE price.  The body is fiberglass, so clearly not an original.  But I will keep posting information.. someone out there has to know what I have here.

For more details, she has a VIN of MI0364109C061386 if that helps and was assembled in obviously 1986.  The original owner was in New Mexico and literally pieced her together from here and there.  This was not a true "kit".  Any help is appreciated.  Since I have taken custody of her, her engine was overhauled since they did piece it together.  The engine year didn't match the crankshaft, and thus a harmonic balancer was required.  I have also added new headers, custom exhaust, push rods/guides and generally cleaned her up with a little paint touch up from careless owners  .

I would add pics, but the site is no longer supporting photos.

Thanks again!

Good Morning All,

I landed a wonderful find in what appears to be a Shelby chassis from the continuance line, but I am having trouble proving it.  Any recommendations on where I can look.  The Shelby American tag inside the engine compartment is worn, so I cannot read the stamp anymore.  She's a beauty regardless, but I want to make sure my insurance matches her worth. 

Thanks!

Heidi

and yes... a car girl!
