You need to determine if your radiator is original or a aftermarket replacement.A original radiator is very desirable in a vintage Shelby. You can buy a new aftermarket replacement that looks reasonably like original for typical the same or less then having a radiator recored . It makes sense to only have a original recored and not a aftermarket one recored. If you can find a radiator shop to do the work currently to have a radiator 24 inch (69 GT350with A/C) or smaller recored it is going to typically currently be 500.00 plus. Your 69 GT350 radiator if original should have FOMOCO embossed on the top tank and a engineering number metal stamped on the side strap starting with a C8 engineering number.
