i'm sure it's been answered before, but on the windshield date code, is there a code for the year? I have a nice original clear one, but no clue what year it was from.phred

Les or anybody know what the FM-M05 indicates. I know it is a Ford Motor number but can't find much about it and I've now seen it on your shelby and mine

I found this on the web:

This explains some things but does not answer the windshield M05 number in the information.It answers the wind wing M30 however.

Les, I would be interested in knowing what the letter in the circle just above the date code reads, I have tried enlarging. Mine is a N for Nashville. I have only seen the M05 on two 66 Shelby's and was wondering if it is SJ related only? The other FM codes don't seem to relate to any certain assy plant. My research tells me that the middle character is a zero and not an "O". Mike at PS Glass was going to check with Bob Perkins to see what he knew about FM-M05.

Took a new picture and it look like a N for Nashville.
