I believe the vin is for a 07 vert. 1ZVHT89 for vert and 1ZVHT88 for coupe. Can someone confirm this?

1ZVHT89S is a GT500 convertible (the 89S part), the next "9" is a check digit, and the next "8" makes it a 2008. I ran a vehicle report and the vin comes back as a 2008 Vert--just like in the post.

Thanks Stuart. That confirms it for me.

This is being sold by Ken Grody Ford in Buena Park, CA. I sent them an email requesting info on the car.

I did the same. This could get interesting.

This is incredible. I couldn't get a replacement stripe for my rear bumper without providing a proper vin number. Let's wait until we hear from Amy or Bud before we go crazy.

KAM,

Thanks for alerting all of us 40th owners to this issue. Bud and Amy will make it right. Regards and thanks again.

Wow, this is an interesting development. Many of us have been asking for a 40th style package for the 08/09 models and there is a thread that indicates that this might be a future possibility.... I guess it's no longer a thought but reality......hmmm

Rarecat,

You wouldn't be as chipper if you were in our shoes. I would never take pleasure in another person's pain.

This should not be!
We paid for the exclusive of being a 40th 1967-2007.
If this one slipped through the cracks will be very very rare!

I got a call back from the Ford dealer today (Chad), confirming that it is a 2008, that it has the 40th Anniversary package, and that it was offered on the 2007's and early 2008's. Someone else will be calling me back about the car when they get in, so maybe I'll have more info from them.

This is the email I got from the dealer:
Dear b17drvr,

Tim, This car is a 2008, I am unclear on why this is so unique, but conversion was completed by Shelby and looks stunning. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
