Where are the Photos?
Hard to say if it were a California Special which are coupes. That to me looks like a convertible.
If there were anyone who might know that would be Jeff Speegle. This is his stomping grounds. He would know most Shelby related cars in the area, I would believe.

This is from the factory Ford MuscleParts catalog from 1970 - note the words at the top, "Small Block Series," when referencing the 351C. So this refutes at least two previous statements : 1.) that Ford never used these terms and 2.) That the 351C is not a small block.
BIG plus ONE
More misinformation. Again, the Cleveland IS a small block. Heads interchange on any small block, heck it even was done at the factory on an engine called a Boss 302. motor mounts/trans bellhousing is small block. The Cleveland was the 'bastard' of the Ford line up. Unique block with the cast front cover ala Oldsmobile, oiling the same as the 385 series, an intake that ran dry (no coolent), and other oddities. That however, does not mean it is not a small block. Just an attempt by Ford to make 'another' engine to compete with GM and Mopar.
