Title: 1968 Shelby GT500KR, 428CJ Fender Emblem NOS (2)
Post by: Craner on November 09, 2022, 06:35:51 AM
Wanted: S8MS 16098-G,  1968 Shelby 428 CobraJet Fender Emblem. Qty 2.
NOS very good condition.

Acsco directly sourced, will also be considered, if colors are correct.
It is my understanding that Acsco did much, if not all of the emblem and trim design & manufacturing for the later years.

Thank you.
Fran

I have a handfull ( a few sets) of left over brand new reproductions I was saving,  but will part with them.
I dont know the brand , I dont know the condition of the adhesive since theyve been sitting for years, and I dont have any originals to compare them to for accuracy ,
but there counldnt have been too many people making these things.

I tried to look for new reproductions to see what theyre currently going for ,and they show discontinued or un available everywhere I look

Id sell a pair for $135 shipped within the USA
send me a private message if interested

Approximately what year did the repros come out?

Many of the emblems were made by the OEM suppliers long after production ended so its not fair to call them reproductions

I have the same thing but mine is green on the back. I've had it since the mid to late seventies if that is indicative of anything.

As has been mentioned many of the emblems sold in the past were made by the original supplier so they are the same. The green paper on the back is typical of what the emblems had when they were sold by Ford back in the day.

True however the red paint is a different shade on the later versions like the ones pictured above
