Default Getting COA for your GT500

Have your VIN and Visa/MC ready for a $45 transaction. Call 877-837-2582. They'll ask which model year and the last 6 of your VIN. Once the transaction is all done, they'll tell you what number your car was in that year's production run, final build date, and number your was in that years' particular color.

It takes 1.5-2 weeks to get your COA in the mail.

Safe to assume us '13 owners need to wait a bit longer to get ours eh?

If Shelby was still with us to sign them that would be cool.
I was fortunate to get a hand signed dash plaque before he got too sick to sign.
I had another one on order as back up but he stopped signing before they could get it done. But I have protected mine and do protect it WELL even though it's on the dash.

I don't see the point of these now though...
It's free to get your vehicle in the Shelby registry online and
your VIN along with the stamped engine etc., along with the window sticker if you keep it is plenty of proof enough.

So WHY get this?

Anyone still up for telling me WHY to get one of these?

Just a neat accessory? (nothing wrong with that of course!)

Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, eh? Don't harsh on my mellow dude

I guess I'll cancel my order for anything from the Shelby website now that he's dead and can't sign it.

lol not being harsh at all.
I LOVE neat things to have.
I must have wrote that TOTALLY wrong lol!

I was just wondering if there were any reasons why you needed to MAKE SURE to get one.
