I agree.... that BaT blue '67 is sitting too high.... and higher than stock..... especially the front end.

I'm guessing fresh repro springs.

Actually I was referring to the knucklehead who posted that Magnum 500 wheels were an option........

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the look of the front end higher than the rear either, but isn't that "correct" for a lot of cars? Including 67 Shelbys? Just curious as I am not sure.

The cars were originally set up to be lower in the rear

$200,000 plus and the question is about a $3 decal. Can anyone explain the logic there?

Yes, the overspray on the leading front edge of the intake is correct on a '67 GT500 428 engine.  Ford painted the assembled 428 engines with the aluminum intake already installed and used a mask to cover the intake so it wouldn't get painted.  The mask covered the intake, but not completely, causing overspray on the edge of intake 

For the small block cars, Ford shipped the GT350 cars to SA with a std 289 HiPo assembly with the painted cast iron intake, which the aluminum intakes and carbs were later swapped out at SA.
