Pete, or someone used the hood as a workbench when they cut apart a cardboard box.

I've seen this car in person and the marks in the paint are precise and done for some specific purpose; not accidental.
Another fascinating piece of history exists.

Prompted by Jeff's input, I double-checked the '68 Electrical Assembly Manual and both big block and small block show to be the same wire color scheme for this engine harness.

Thanks 68 blk I see my problem now. My sending unit wire broke off @ black/red plug. my plug is shot I will have to try something else.There are two wires red & yellow going to plug do you know if both wires go to sending unit.

Guessing you don't have this illustration which shows the colors for your three wires----read lower right for A, B, C wire colors.  Beginning to sound like you need a replacement loom segment for this triple plug. 

In an assembled car it is tricky to try to determine which wire goes to what position of the triple plug.  Maybe someone else can confirm this?

Single wire to temp sender, not two.

Providing you with a photo which may be helpful.

At left is the white with red wire for the oil sender, which is scotch-lock spliced for length.
At right is lead (female) which your temp sending wire plugs into. WRONG INFO.  this lead is for the A/C compressor black wire.

CORRECTION:  Your temp sender wire is part of a taped loom that plugs into the triple connector which is pictured in the middle of these wires.

anyone else notice that drone hovering over the Shelby?

Nice finds, Gary!

I've noted 7 lens variations over the years.  Best as I can figure out, when the mounting orientation was different for Cougars and then '69 Shelbys, so the TOP casting appeared on those lenses.  Wiring grommet change is tough to nail down.

Thanks for posting this reminder of one of the most fun guys I've known.
RIP Chris.

Respectfully, all 1968 Shelby big block cars with air conditioning had external oil coolers.

Originals are hard to find, there are replacements available that look similar

I am aware of power steering coolers. Not engine oil coolers. In 1968 model year Shelbys.

Trust us, Royce, on this one. 

We are returning to MCACN this year with our black, Premiere, '68 GT500 convertible Division I car for their Best of 1968 feature.  It sounds like it will be a really strong presence this year for Fords.
 
Another historical Shelby "unveil" is rumored.  Who knows??

Looking forward to seeing folks there, along with some great cars.  Pack a bag and be there!

Great job, Brian!!
You must have been up very early to shoot that video; and glad you did.

That is such a beautiful 68 Vert you have Don.

Thank you, Gary.
We are planning to have it at MCACN for their Best of 1968.  It sounds like a really strong Ford turnout for this year's show.  Looking forward to seeing folks there.
