07 GT/SC is it real? Or just a clone?

[Fstrpst]

Hey guys I have a chance to buy a 07 Convertible GT/SC. But I am curious about something. Every other one I have seen says "Shelby GT/SC" on the lower front quarter.
This one just has "GT/SC". Everything else about the car seems correct. Should I be concerned and what would be a determining factor of its originality?

Have you ran the VIN via carfax or Shelby America?

It's a tarted up regular GT vert. A real Shelby GT/SC looks like this:

Vin just said 06 GT. U looked at it pretty closely. I believe it is a clone. I walked.

Was the seller trying to sell it as a Shelby GT/SC?

 

[Fstrpst]

No has it listed as a 06 GT

FYI, the title will not have Shelby American designation on that particular car. Shelby purchased these "post title". It will just say "2006 GT". But yeah, it's a GT/SC, just like it's listed. It's not a Shelby. I don't see where it has "Shelby" on the car. Does not have the "Powered by Ford" emblem on fender in place of "GT". Has a GT500 rear spoiler. Shelby GT would have no spoiler. Bumper covers look a bit off, as well. What type of Supercharger does it have?

That's a Roush type rear spoiler, I believe. Lower angle, three-piece construction.

Aftermarket looking side scoops, not Shelby.

I should say, that doesn't mean it's not a GT/SC. A previous owner could have modified it to their own tastes. Or if it was wrecked and they decided to do something different.

Kind of like saying an old Mustang isn't a Shelby because it has the wrong motor...many Shelby motors got blown up so many have the wrong motor.

That is just not a Shelby.
