I said this to some buddies today eating lunch. To me, it actually makes sense for the Ford cars to bring more than the Chevy competitors (Boss vs Z) bc at least with the Ford you have some assurance that the car you’re buying is actually a REAL car due to the Marti Reports. It’s actually pretty sad that all these fake cars are being bought as real.

The LS6 cars didn’t do so great at Mecum and I probably know why. It’s because there were about 50 of them it seemed and my guess is by far most of them were fake and brought the value down of the real ones.

You don’t see a bunch of fake Boss 302 and 429 cars and Shelbys.

Please remember a ford can be authenticated by the vin plate, If its real,
a Marti report just gives a bunch of info but nothing you cant figure out online
in a few mins. all that 1 of whatever is just BS.

Where is this vin plate ? The one on the door, that states it's NOT to be used to title the car ? I've worked on/rebuilt 9 first gen Mustangs now and haven't found a real vin tag on any of them. The vin stamp on the left apron is the only other identifier I've found and up here, many of those are rusted away. The ones that were still viable, I incorporated into the replacement aprons.

I 100% agree it’s much harder if not impossible to fake a mustang there’s so much documentation on them and numbers
