I sold a '68 GT500 with Antenna on Drivers Rear Qtr. I have a '67 GT500 with Antenna on Right Front Fender and I have a 1967 GT350 with Antenna on Right REAR qtr ! That is really a poor rule for judging a Shelby.
First Which year Shelby?
Each has it own details.
For a 1967 for example it is rare to see in a clone the following.....
1) Rollbar with Shoulder harnesses
The harnesses cost a lot. A set went for $ 2550.00 last week on ..pretty pricey for a clone...
2) Instrument cluster - They have a 140mph spedo & 8K tach (Note: in gone in 60 seconds it was a 120mph speedo!...CLONE!!) Cost around $ 1500.00 on , when available...
3) Steering Wheels - The Wood Wheels are bring in over $ 3000 on as of last week.
So with the parts described in 1-3 that would cost over $ 8000 to get inside the car parts..Plus the Engine is a subject on its own.
These 1-3 items would apply to GT350 & GT500 cars.
There are also many motor parts that may have been changed BUT If the car has the rare parts, it does help make it more likely that it is a Shelby.
Then after all of that the VIN..
It can be verified with SAAC
