I wonder if it is going into the Segerstrom Collection. They have gathered many #1 cars. We're still waiting for the announcement of the grand opening.

You are correct

" It's well-established that the earliest cars had hand-engraved VINs. Then evolving to stamped. Then the late-completed cars (theorized to be an indication of being a Ford asset after May 1) had an oversized "Z" prefix added to the VIN plate. Well, almost nothing in the completion of '67 Shelbys is binary... Here's a few *special* "Z" prefix VINs of cars completed on the same day in late May. Was the Z stamping tool misplaced? Did it break? Is there another reason? I'm sure we'll know more as we collect, identify and compare additional Z-VIN plates from this time period "

"Z" stamped '67 VIN tags is a different, much later, issue/occurrence.

We've also been told some early cars had there hand engraved tags replaced with stamped tags.
Where and when that happened is anybody's guess.

Also, at least one early car has been found with a hand engraved tag that was completed after October 1966.
All this tells us is the tags may have been added before the cars were completed by SAI.

I'm sure Bob already misses that car. Congratulations on the sale.  And if you have a car that nice, private sale is the way to go.

I would venture to say that a lot of us are curious as to what the value of something like this car is though.  There are very few others to compare it with.

Me too but it is kind of unique and the buyer is less likely to put a dollar amount on it rather then just go out and get it, whatever it costs.

And that's fine because many of these cars have just entered into a state where they are unique museum pieces and probably should be on display like a Renoir painting is, for all to see and enjoy.

Translate that into "expensive".

Bob purchased number #1 from a seller in Albuquerque New Mexico, I had a chance to buy the car for $8000 in the early 80s. I recall my Shelby buddies and I at the time trying to decide if a car with 
Vin # 1 number would be worth more money than any other 67 Shelby at the time. Who knew?
