I was going to order a battery for my car and was asked two questions that I need some help with. Because it is a Shelby, they need to know if it was a series 24 or 27. They also asked if the battery should be painted or not. My car is a 6/13/69 build. What is the real story on this and suggestions as to what to order.
Yes to the red graphics. And I do have the side shield (and a topper - but prefer to have the complete original style battery now that they are reproducing them again). Thank you
The topper I have CAME with the car. And were the batteries painted?

Just trying to confirm that you know the difference in size given I am not aware of a 27 F topper ever being made. If a 24f then that begs the question what battery tray do you have in your car, a 24 or a 27 .One tray is larger then the other . Many rusty 27 trays have been changed out to 24 trays given the 27 tray was not available for decades until recent years.
I really appreciate the commentary, but since the topper is irrelevant to me, my BIG question is, should the battery be painted or not on this car?

Painted battery? I've been around Fords since the late 1970's, even worked in college in a auto parts house. I've never heard of a factory "painted" battery. Or any "painted" battery. Not to say someone didn't decide to color match his battery to his car and did so with a Rattle Can!

Thanks for posting shelbymann
