I recently picked up what appears to be a 1970 survivor that was tagged in early September 1969 out of Dearborn. It's a decently optioned H code per buck tag, but outside of that and the body panels, it was loaded up with a number of 1969 components including a some things specific to Shelby's of the day i.e. speedo/tach, roll bar, 15" GT's (date coded), kick plates, among others. It's an odd combination of items for an H code and its possible they were added on by a previous owner. However, given Ford's propensity to use up inventory and the fact that Shelby's came out of Dearborn in 69, I'm curious if anyone could shed light on whether Ford would have actually installed a mix of components at the factory given the date this car came off the assembly line.
Welcome,

Glad to have you join with us.

I do not know the answer to you questions but I can refer you to someone more definitive.

Don Witt at http://www.ohiomustang.com/ is the man who will know. Besides that you will in due time need a good contact for parts and you will be worlds ahead knowing Don.

Come on back when you get your answers and let us know what you find out.
Thank you for the reference. I will certainly follow up.


They did make a Shelby De Mexico version that is one wierd looking Shelby.

You would have to run a Marti Report I guess.SCo_hmmthink
