1969 BOSS 302 GT 350 Prototype

[shelbymann1970]

Here are some facts for you that like facts:

The car is being represented as a "Shelby GT350"

The car was not built as a Shelby until more than 25 years after Ford assembled it as a Boss 302

The car does have a "G48" serial number

The owner posted factory paperwork that very specifically says "Not a Shelby"

The owner posted vintage pictures of the car in the Boss 302 trim, without the correct quarters or tail lights for a Shelby

1969 Shelbys were not built at Kar Kraft as the owner previously stated.

So, whats the argument about?

Oh, maybe its that there is no adult supervision on the forum?  I think its just been proven again.

Agreed Bill, I see a couple of guys that want to keep the contention going...as they often say, when you resort to name calling, you have lost the argument.

Crossboss says his Shelby was built at Kar Kraft  and has the invoices to prove it. #3129. Reply #8 https://www.boss302.com/smf/index.php?topic=35552.0

Since certain people want facts here are some more facts: 1969 Shelbys were coded as Mach1s for fastbacks so 63C cars with "3A" or "3AA" for black interiors and a "5" designation on the paint code(should be 65 but is just 6 on the Marti). No argument here, right? This car's build sheet says the car was built as a 63B car (like Boss 9s and deluxe interior B2s and other non Mach1 non Shelby Fastbacks). The build sheet also "DA" for the interior code which is hi back comfortweave seats which-like B9s and non Mach1 FBs- got NO RED STRIPE on the seat or red molded floor mats. To me another fact, clue whatever that this car was not intended to be a Shelby. Show me one AO Smith Shelby built in 1969 with a 63B code and DA code for interior seats. The facts just keep piling in.
LOOK, cool car. It looks better in it's current state.

Guys,
With all due respect, you are still beating a dead horse. Interior combos aside, it STILL has a VIN of 'G48'. Lets put this to rest, and move on.

Other then in your own mind who is saying these things? The history of the car is known you are the only person unable to accept things. I am not sure why you want to try and sow discontent here and on BAT but you seem to thrive on it.
