Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
In case any of you were unaware like I was, Shelby American offers Authenticity Certificates for our vehicles. These can be seen here.
The directions further down on the page state that your numbered Shelby Whittier vehicle must be registered on the Unified Registry of TeamShelby.com, which can be found here.
As mentioned, I was under the presumption that these were only offered for newer Shelby Fords, but they can be had for our cars too. It'd be nice to support Team Shelby in this regard since they recognize our vehicles and SDAC. Plus, it'd be a cool extra piece to have among your paperwork for your vehicle.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
Interesting find... I'll add to the "to do" list to inquire with Team Shelby directly about this.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
I've done this both for my car and for Katlaw's (GLHS 0502). It's a nice certificate, and was the final piece of evidence that convinced my registry office to title my car as a Shelby.

Wow, that's pretty cool then! I hadn't thought about that being a bonus. Thanks for the info.

"Your complete CSM number"
What is that?
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
I've posed the same question and am waiting for a response from their end on that. If somebody who has done it already doesn't post, I will pass the reply I get along.

Cobra's were "CSX-XXXX"
Our cars were each numbered...
Maybe CSM = CS"M"ustang ?
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
I was thinking maybe the engine serial # would apply since it is a specific Shelby identification but not all the Whittier vehicles had those plaques. I'm figuring they will just accept the VIN and cross reference it with the Master VIN lists.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
For the "CSM" number, I put "1987 GLHS 0075" "Lancer #176" and "1987 GLHS 0502" on the ones I ordered. S A seemed happy with that
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
Good info im going to order one this week for both cars since they put the regular shelby charger in there also!
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
Yeah guys, I heard back and it was suggested you put your car's dash plaque number.
If your car is not streetworthy, then you are to fax a copy of the title to them to verify ownership. Otherwise, as mentioned, faxing a copy of your vehicle registration will suffice. They want verification that the vehicle is in your name nonetheless.
I just placed an order for two of my cars. Money well spent IMHO... :excited:
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
Faxed my two pieces of info over today. An insurance card would also work if you're unable to send copy of title or registration. Just FYI.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
Just an FYI, today, I received the two Verification Certificates I ordered for my CSX's and am VERY pleased with them. I'd encourage all of you to consider doing the same.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
I can't find a link to read the info on my GLHS in the registry. I was able to update the info and add me as the current owner, but I also saw it had some mods listed the car does not have. I didn't get a window to add or delete mods.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
As far as I know the registry is not able to be viewed. I'm PM'ing you an email address to gain assistance.
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
Awesome. I'll have to get a fancy certificate too.

Old thread but I got mine a couple of days ago
Re: Shelby Registry Vehicle Authenticity Certificates
That's a great point.
Having an official Shelby Registry Certificate is further proof of origin.
When I first tried to register GLHS0325 in New York, the lady at the desk said that the VIN said it was a Dodge.
She said I'd have to take it up with DMV headquarters in Albany NY.
Luckily I have the original Certificate of Origin of Vehicle from Shelby Automobiles.
That got me the correct title and registration.
I'm going to get the Shelby Registry Certificate also.
I'm just deciding if I want my name on the title or not.
