SD Shelby title issue
Rick, That is definitely a mistake that has somehow managed to remain un-noticed. There was no such thing as Shelby American in the 80's. The company was called Shelby Automobiles. All of the '87 GLHS's should be titled as Shelbys but none of the '86's should be. There are going to be many exceptions to this of course, we all know of the wonderful efficiency and accuracy of Motor Vehicle operations. The people at our MVA said the same thing about how long they had been working there etc. I made them pull the MSO and they corrected it and just tossed it on the counter and walked off without any apology. Maybe some states do not hold on to MSO's forever, or maybe they just don't feel like looking. In 1984 our MVA still had the MSO and original registration for my '69 Barracuda.

Do you think that would still apply if the vehicle was not originally sold in that state? I believe my 1987 CSX #172 was originally sold in another state which would lead me to believe that the MSO would be on file in that particular state. Anybody have the records to show the original state/dealer that #172 was sold in? I had my local DMV here in my home state of Florida run what they called a body file for my vehicle to get a printout of all the previous paperwork history that's on file. What I received was a copy of a West Virginia title followed by the transfer paperwork to a Jacksonville, FL dealership who sold it to the guy I bought it from. No MCO or a correct mention along the way of Shelby being listed as a make.

Re: SD '86 GLHS Title issue
Our MVA changed my '87 GLHS from Shelby to Dodge (after I had owned it for 10 years !) and they kept telling me ( for 30 minutes) that was right until I had them pull the MSO. They changed it back to Shelby. Here's an strange story to show how screwed up the system can be. A good friend of mine from here in Jacksonville bought his 1987 GLHS Charger #0664 when it was new and the state of Florida in it's wisdom saw the word Shelby when setting up the paperwork and ended up listed the make as Ford on his title. He used to drive the SAAC Cobra Mustangs guys crazy when he'd enter it in their events.

SD FOR SALE: Shelby Dakota 899 near Atlanta - $1500 FIRM
Hello all - First of all, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jack, and I live near Atlanta. The Shelby is my 4th Dakota, which included a 94, a 98 R/T, a 99 R/T, and this one. It was my daily driver for two years, but it's been parked for over a year, so it's time to pass it along to someone else who can do it right. I do not have the time to even read the digest on a regular basis, so if you're interested, please contact me at any of the following: Jack Hilton Alvaton, GA [EMAIL PROTECTED] 706-538-0067 (HOME) 770-631-7525 (OFFICE) I'm attaching a link to a copy of the ad on craigslist.ord that I have also posted to the DML, of which I was a member some years back, and i have a couple of friends in the R/T circle that are already interested, but I need ot sell the truck fairly quickly, which of course makes this an excellent deal.I know the ad is long, but it is as descriptive as is possible, even more so than pics, but I will also take any pics requested, and already have a bunch I can send (totalling about 3MB). Thanks for looking, and I hope someone picks up this truck who's an enthusiast. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/90462060.html If the truck sells by Saturday, I'll throw in a complete decal set, including windshield banners! After that, it may require more cash. - TripleJack ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html
