My 1969 GT350 was built in late December 1968. During the restoration process we discovered that it has 1967/1968 style hood hinges installed on the car. Are these hood hinges correct for a car assembled in that timeframe, or were they likely a replacement installed by a previous owner?
'67 and '68 are different from each others, '67 through mid '68 was a bit different than mid-'68 on, see attached.
Is what you have match either of these?
I can't speak on '69-'70 hood hinges.
Marcus has a whitepaper on hinges, check there

Pretty sure 1968 Shelbys used stock Mustang springs

JD the picture of the 67 hinge was also used into mid 68 production . The picture you have marked as 68 was used mid 68 through 69 production. Change in rivets for 1970.
