Title: Door tag info
Post by: jmombo70 on March 29, 2018, 08:09:14 AM
Wondering if anyone can help with decoding the door tag from my '68 Shelby? I figured some of it out but am at a loss for some of it too. I searched the web and can't find a picture of one like mine. would appreciate any help on this.
