The first photo is of the brackets that mount the extension shafts for the rear quarter window regulator handles on a convertible. They were necessary due to the Shelby unique rear seat side trim panels, which are deeper than those in a regular Mustang convertible to allow room for the roll bar.

The second photo is a support bracket for the front grille assembly - it attaches to the hood catch support in front of the radiator - see photo.

The third one has me stumped but I am certain someone here knows what it is!

The middle bracket is a '69-'70 Mustang/Cougar under dash bracket.  It is located right above the gas pedal and goes from one of the brake/clutch pedal firewall support bolts to the lower dash. See first picture

The third bracket could be from a '69-'70 Mustang as well.  Possibly the center A/C duct bracket from the duct to the cowl/firewall. See second picture.

thanks Bill on the rear widow crank idea, that makes sense from the part number i was sure it was Shelby related but couldn't figure it out, Jeremy

Jeremy,
Are these from Tom's '69 Shelby, And does it have A/C?  With the December 9th date code on the lower dash bracket, it would be the right time frame.

Chris, that is correct, it has a/c and is Toms. Chris is there any chance you have a picture or know what the convertible top motor bracket looks like. the assembly manual doesn't show a good picture of bracket and the holes on the motor don't line up with the holes on the car where the motor sits
