He is not doing hard time, more like handing out a hard time, go to the ponysite.com and click in the upper left corner on &quot;latest TA news&quot;. From what I hear he has caught the Shelby registry in a large scale cover up.
Thanks,

Tell me what I'm reading there? But having dealt with the Shelby Registry before, nothing will surprise me...

Ckick on latest Ta news in the upper left hand corner. It seems that he uncovered documents proving the alteration of the VIN on several cars, at the end of the top news piece click on the click here link that takes you to an article concerning the 67 prototype which the registry had discounted due to a letter change in the VIN, seems it was a common practice. Also, as we all know, for a manufacturer to race a particular car or engine they have to build a certain required amount for street use. It appears that Fords new hp engine that year was the Tunnel Port 302, race officials ok'd the engine but Ford never put it into production for the street, therefore the entire 1968 Mustang season was illeagal. After winning the previous two years points championship, Ford could not afford that pr blunder. They won the first race(Daytona), and never won a race again that season,(maybe one), they were all DNF, kind of like a boxer throwing a fight so not to draw attention to themselves, whoever took second at Daytona actually won. How this turns out should prove interesting

Have known him all my life, I worked with him when he had a Shelby TA car 10 years ago.

Glad to hear he is okay. Is he still in MI?

[chevyman0429]

Yup I have a friend looking for a couple of these frames also for his Berger car.

How long has he been looking?Has he had any luck ?

I ran into a guy on the Jalopy journal that has one, but has it in his high performance collection of parts, so he won't part with it. I tried to buy or trade him, and I was hoping he would want it to go to somebody who would run it on their car, but no.

The &quot;by berger &quot; emblems are not to difficult to come across. I got mine off eBay for about $20-30 bucks not to long ago.

If you read this thread it sounds like someone ran across a bunch of the berger license frames? but then where did they all go???

[chevyman0429]

He's only had the car for around 5 months so he's been looking since he bought it. Lucky for him when he bought his project car the original emblem was wrapped up and stored so he's got them.

[BULLITT65]

What did he get (other than the emblem) that identified it as a berger car? NCRS report? pop?
just curious
IS it a BB car ?
