Yeah, the mystique of these is that 1L Manufacturer Code, which was Shelby's.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Mine have the mystique of the "S75" which was code for many West LA dealerships.... Originally Posted by rspears

The truck was built in San Jose but first sold (according to an old Ford parts counter guru from my truck forum) at a now defunct West LA Ford dealer....based on the license plate number. Sometimes I toy with the idea of moving from California but I don't wanna give up my black plates!
