Richstang:

Hood and frond end pieces are original to the car, thats how it rolled out from the dealership
He says the side strip has been that way for a long time, from when he bought it. Id say 50/50 toss, they might have changed them at one point of the cars life, or it just may have come out the dealer that way...
The emblems are original to the car, the invoice states 5 emblems, 1 on the dash the other 4 on the sides.

Hes getting me a better picture of the frond end.

You posted that the Side Stripes were Painted on from Factory.......

Fiberglass trunk lid with spoiler
Fiberglass hood
Hood locks
Long range headlights (im guessing these are the goofy looking foglights)
GT grill emblem
Rear stop lights

Shelby steering wheel
Emblmes GT 2 rear, 2 side , 1 interior
GT350 side stripes painted installed on new car

None came with stripes, so they were all body colored to begin with.  From what I have seen, most that add stripes make them the color of the stripes, which is usually white.  It seems to look better in my opinion.

That part I know, just wondering if the Judges cared either way when they Judge the Car at SAAC / MCA.

First time I noticed this........the Rear Bumper Guards, are they supposed to be Body Color or Stripe Color if the Shelby has the Lemans Stripes?

What makes it "1 of 5"?  The 427 swap would not be on the Marti Report so that can't be it.

Here's the lime gold '68? hardtop noted in the original post that I suspect is a custom not a Shelby de Mexico

Thats an original one, ive talked to the owner several times thru facebook....

Hi Federico,
Thanks for chiming in and welcome to the forum.

What more car you tell us about this car. Do you know the year?
It's hard to tell with the '68 front side marker and no marker on the rear. (although there does appear to be an emblem on the rear.)

I noted it as a likely clone because it looks nothing like the typical Shelby de Mexico hardtops we have shown here in this thread.
It has '66 10-spoke rims, and from what I've read they were only the later '67 style used on these cars from 67-70.
The side stripe is similar to a '68 California Special, another detail not previously seen on a Shelby de Mexico car.
It has a '67 Shelby fender emblem placed in the stripes (a different location than the correct spot on a '67 Shelby fastback).
The nose appear to be a standard Mustang version, while the hood appears to be a aftermarket '67 Shelby style that is shorter to fit with a Mustang nose.
Maybe the owner (past of present) to some liberties with the restoration.

If you can add any more information or photos, we (I) would certainly appreciate it. Thanks

It appears to be the 1967 Grill, Dash & Deck Lid Emblem on the rear Quarters.

It's at $45,200.00 and that's a sweet deal.

NOT mine...1966 Ford Mustang K Code Fastback.  Mind you - non-Shelby and non-GT

https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/ford/mustang/1993381.html

Nice looking car.  I messaged the guy to find out the price...take a guess.

...$115K or reasonable offer.  What?!?!  I think his asking price takes the word "reasonable" completely out of the picture. 

He's hoping to sell it to the guys building the Shelby GT 350R Cars.

Back to our regular programming

Meanwhile back in Puerto Rico

Where is this Shelby now?  Is it still there?  Washed out to Sea from the Hurricanes?

Have you seen this Photo before?  I'm thinking same chassis as a CSX 2000 but I could be wrong.

Photos of the Cars.

A friend has a Cobra with a 351 Windsor Small Block and found a company that sells a Cobra Valve Cover that looks like a FE Aluminum Valve Cover.  If you can find a set, that should be all you need.

"I believe chassis #1127 was used to "restore" this car."

So, in other words, they did a VIN Swap with Chassis #1127 and #1127 is NOW P1005..........

I recently Bought this in August of 2017.  It was built just 2 weeks before I bought it.  It is an 8.5x24 with dual 3500 LB Axles with Brakes on Both.  I paid just $3,995.00 for it.  For a little bit more I could have gotten the 5500 LB Axles and the extra Side Door.

It is still possible to have a car restored to the original paint finish OR have the original paint finish. Why should a car that was re-painted in another paint system be held equal to the original?

It would seem that is fairer to one party then the other?

It only matters what is allowed according to the judging guidelines.  The same could be said for a car with NOS tires on a Concours car.  They might get a big thumbs up from the judges, but the car will score the same as the car with repro tires.

As long as those Tires are Repros of what came on the Car from Factory.  Tires like BF G's should NOT be allowed on a Car being Judged for Concours.
