better check those serial numbers. There are TWO different ones for 67 models: a Shelby VIN separate from a FORD VIN, with BOTH indicated on the car if authentic and verifiable by SAAC. The Ford vin corresponding to the Shelby vin is ONLY known to the SAAC Registrar (or perhaps prior owners if verified previously) for 67 models (or another specific model year). However, the "KR" model was unique to 1968 and was a 'mid 68 model year' entry, NOT a 1967 model as you state. SAAC will not tell you what the hidden ford vin is, but will verify once you uncover the ford vin if it is the one that corresponds to that shelby vin .
SHELBY VIN is in two places in 1967 : Hand stamped (or engraved on early cars) into a unique aluminum plate pop riveted on the inner driver fender apron under the hood...AND....hand stamped into passenger side inner front fender panel...both visible with the hood up
FORD VIN is in two places also in 1967 : Stamped in inner front fender notch, drivers side covered by the Shelby vin plate listed above....and...stamped in inner pass side fender panel at outside edge ahead of the shock tower visible ONLY with the fender bolts loosened and fender lifted or removed.
1968 models differ in placement of the VIN's.
Recommend you determine what you really bought before putting bundles of cash into it...as there was NO KR in 67...if ya got a real verifiable 67 Shelby (perhaps GT 500) then consider your future options...if you got a bogus Shelby, time to leave the parts in the boxes or proceed as a regular Mustang car , but not a shelby.
Best of luck. Bill
