Coralsnake is your man! I have some, but they came from Pete's website.
Pete, can you ablige? ;)
AO Smith was a subcontactor that manufactured cars for the big 3 auto companies.
They built the 68-69/70 Shelbys. They did not sell cars retail.

Sorry, no original Paxton 1968 GT350s!
A.O. Smith had a Ford dealership?
The same A.O. Smith Corporation headquartered in Ionia Michigan that performed the conversions on the Shelby Mustangs and XR7-G Cougars?

You should tell us your Shelby number and we can help you find the documents that should have been provided to you, when you purchased the car.
