Shelby signature..........
How a collector can be sure that his little car has a real signature instead of a tampoo? Is there a source that guarantee that the signature is genuine or just FM telling it is true? Does this signature appears to be on top of the clear coat or under? Just curious.

No clear coat! I just examined closely and its definitely over all coats of paint
Its not a tampo, that I am sure, but its not legible as Tony's Shelby. Mine was signed from the passenger to the driver's side as opposed to the FM 65 GT350

I am amazed................
that somebody at "eighty something" years old can still have the same "swing" in his signature without a miss after so much health problems if he has to put it on LE of over a thousand.
Who really signs and who knows for sure?

I think the only way to know for sure, is if you happened to be there when he signed it.
