If anyone is interested in this car I would be able to do an inspection on it. I live about 75 mile from Mt. Vernon, OH.

It don't think it was a mistake... marketing people most likely felt that by showing the Mustang and Crown Vic (iconic cars to some) will translate into believing the Cadillac is iconic as well.  This is just my opinion and years of dealing with marketing types.

If you go with the "Iconic" thing why wouldn't they use a Camaro, Corvette, Impala, at least something GM?

Did anyone else see the Cadillac commercial featuring two Fords? Cadillac traveling down a city street, women waving purple flags, Caddy turns left. There on the corner is a Brittney blue 67 F/B Mustang and a yellow Crown Vic cab. Apparently they don't check their commercials.

So many to choose from. If only one, I would have to go with an original Ford GT

  The cuss words are the most important tool. +1. One of my go to tools. It's good therapy.

Bob, are you saying the wheels with no # on the back will fit a '68 Shelby because of the machining that was done to them ?

Thanks....Greg.

Some will and some will not I have found that is why I said would "help". Typically the ones with machining on the backside of the rim will have a good chance to clear without additional spacers.

+1. The correct tapered spoke, non counter bored between the spokes valve stem hole, non spot faced  tapered lug nut seat wheel without the S7MS casting is what I believe is the D suffix wheel that some of them may clear the 68 K/H calipers and some may not. It is not necessarily how this wheel is machined but there is extra thickness of material cast in the back side of the hub area that ends up making them a different offset.

I don't believe a manual will ever come.

I have a Ford engine ID tag that has been laying around for a while that is unique and was wondering if any one knew what it is for/from.The tag reads,
C8AF 6009  L
C6AZ AG 427 HP
Thanks

Nice to know.Thank You. I figured that eventually a matching date set would turn up. I just haven't seen a lot of 68 Shelby's that have had more than one build sheet found in them.

One thing I have noticed from My observation of the 68 Metuchen build sheets are that there are at least thee different versions used. If memory serves me correctly (I don't have My build sheet collection  with Me ) there is an Aug 67 a Nov 67 and a Feb 68 dated version used. Same amount of info on all three versions but some lines are coded different. As an interesting note I have seen several 68 Shelby's that have had more than one (2) build sheets in them and in all examples that I have seen the 2 sheets were dated different.

A different 1968 Shelby also unrestored....either Jan or Feb build date. Might have been to cover bare areas? Looks to be sprayed over redox and not done by owner

02267, 4/30/68 build very similar blacked out area on the over the axle area also.

Got mine today, also in N.E. OH.

My shop had one of these. Tossed it out many a years ago. Still have a big Sun 1115 though.
