Yes, you got it.....for example, my original 1968 GT350 convertible came originally from Ford with the following VIN
8T03J183030
Of course since it was to be made in to a Shelby convertible, it left the A.O. Smith plant with the following VIN and new MSO
8T03J183030-2623
The "2623" being the official Shelby addition to the serial number., thus requiring the new MSO. Since these new continuation cars are being done in a similar fashion, they too will require a new MSO or title stating their full VIN.....Since Shelby is still listed as a licensed vehicle manufacturer in the US, he can issue the new MSO as he sees fit.
Hope this helps to clear thise item up.

,,,like I said before, I'm sure there are plenty of folks scratching their heads over US trying to figure out WHY we would pay so much a 2 seater car with no top!
