If I remember correctly, the car was rolled back over, roof kicked/beaten upwards enough that the car was driven home by it's bruised owner. Now restored to it's former glory.

And then we get into the weird stuff. A March built 68 GT350 auto car. Never been apart .All known owners and all owners said original engine not out until the prior owner pulled it and NEVER looked for numbers. Well we did after my friend bought it. All casting numbers are great for the car's assy date and the numbers on the engine match the trans. I repeat-they match each other. The problem? A smaller font size and numbers we've never seen before. Notice the grime that was cleaned off to expose the engine numbers and the trans numbers. We are talking a 302 and auto not a 428 4 speed. Patina said never been out in decades. Sure it isn't "matching numbers" but it is believed by all prior owners stating as such as being the original engine. 3rd pic is an Atlanta 302 J code engine that happened to be date coded right for my old 68 Shelby so it went in it. Notice 1 number is real light in the gang stamp but can be seen with the naked eye.

Wish I had one of the Bowditch Dealer Emblems for my car 5S275 which was sold by Bowditch Ford.

Quote from: DRGT350 on November 29, 2023, 10:44:48 AMVery nice. Is that an emblem or a decal, and do you know what time frame it might be? The one in Phil's collection is from 1967 on into the late 70s, but I have no idea what was used earlier. For all I know they might have had license plate frames. If you have a higher resolution photo of the emblem on 5S296, I'd sure love to see it. Thanks.
This one from Bowditch on 5S296..
