Im not too familar with 69-70 shelbys
I have a set of center caps , trying to determine if they are originals or repops.
They are plastic and have CCPC S9MS-1130-B number on the back .
I noticed that Scott Drake / Holley offers a reproduction (catalog part number S9MS-1130-D) , But im not sure if those scott drake ones have any numbers on the back?
thanks

I have a set of what appears to be NOS center caps , trying to determine if they are originals or repops. they are plastic and do have S9MS.... numbers on the back
thanks
I have some in the blue and white Ford service marked boxes with the green epoxy and also ones in the plastic sealed Ford service marked plastic bags with the green epoxy. The repros are typically a different color epoxy. With that said once mounted most of the good repros I have seen are good enough to pass for Ford inventory.
thanks for the info Bob.
If you get a chance, can you tell me if yours have the same numbers on the inside back lip?
I plan on selling these and id hate to advertise them as originals if by any chance they are not

Yes my caps all have the extremely hard to read and small engineering numbers made into the perimeter upper edge of the plastic mold . The ones that the metal mounting clip frame doesn't obscure you can read. Others are mostly obscured by the metal. I would be surprised if the repros had that. I think that you can safely say that they are original if they have the engineering numbers . Best of luck with your sale.
The old originals and assembly line type have black glue if i remember correctly
Here a NOS black glued with part number you can barely see.

Bob, if its not too much to ask, can you tell me if your original Ford caps with the green glue have that same CCPC letters before the S9MS... number ?
The reason I ask is that i will be soon listing these for sale and id like to list them as accurately as possible..

Attached are raw shots of the 4 I own, 3 of which were purchased from your father in 1981 or 1982 (the 1st Tri-State Mustang/Shelby show in East Stroudsburg, PA), the 4th some time in 1984.

Other shots, 4th was purchased from Randy Delisio (just remembered)
Bill thank you so much for the pics and info they answer all my questions, and yes I see the CCPC on yours as well, so mine look to be NOS originals.
You didnt purchased any from my father , as I have no relation to the Branda family
