Title: GT 350 Tail Light Panel Emblem
Post by: Fast Fords on October 22, 2025, 08:20:04 PM
I have a GT350 tail light panel emblem for a 65 or 66 Shelby. I was wondering if this is a reproduction one or if it is a NOS Ford one. It measures 4 1/2" long by 7/8" high. I will post a few pictures for you to see. Any help is is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's one that I have had since the early to mid-seventies. Looks the same to me.

Here is a picture of my original emblem and Scott Drake replica
The Scott Drake was shorter, not as wide and thinner than the original
I restored the original and reinstalled it

The OP's emblem looks genuine based on the measurements and the back side. FYI there is a 65 version that on the front side has a satin or smooth and not brushed finish like the later style . The 0 of GT350 is slightly different . On the back side it does not have the injection mold marks(dimples)and is machined finish instead. The OP style is the typical 66. I am not sure how late in 65 the change over happened.
