Hello, I am posting this for comment from the forum. Any background on this? Is it 1960's vintage? Any cool history behind it? Or is it just a tin sign someone made up to sell at a Barret-Jackson booth?  Here is the description:


I have a nice two sided porcelain sign shelby GT-350, I do not know much about it, bought it with a bunch of other Mustang Nos stuff. It is used got scratched and dings in it but the edge has nicks in from being rolled or dropped. A really neat piece of history. This is a heavy metal sign weighs almost 15 pounds. It is not painted and it is 30 inches round. Taking bids on it

Amateur paint and lettering skills.  Pete Brock would be pizzed if anyone thought he made that design.   

Another red flag:  I don't think there ever was a Shelby GT350 sign with "Mustang" also on it.

The key is in their description

I don't know translates to you're the expert tell me.
it was in with NOS stuff means it must be real since it came with a bunch of pookies NOS parts.

BIW was anyone still making porcelain signs in the 60s? By then plastic was taking over.

The guy created the sign after he read the 65-6 VIN tag. The car was originally Mustang GT350 - not Shelby GT350.

Special Ed

Porcelain  signs were replaced buy painted metal signs long before shelbys were ever built so not even period correctly made.  The  repo shelby neon signs are also not period correct as neon was replaced by backlite plastic type in early 60s. If there were any REAL shelby signs made back in mid 60s they would be very expensive now.
