Shelby Mustangs from 1965-67 have auxiliary serial number plates riveted on top on the VIN plate. In 1968 the Shelby number panel can be found on the inner fender/wing left-hand panel. From 1969-1970 there was no specific Shelby numbering, although they all have a plate reading 'SHELBY AUTOMOTIVE' riveted below the warranty plate. NB All 1970 Shelbys were reserialed 1969 models. If the vehicle has a Certification Label this its not a Shelby!
