Just to make sure this is the 1967 Shelby GT350/500 group here.

It would be good if we separate a bit even if its hard as we are talking about wheels that were made in different versions.

The main point is to find out what would be right for a 1967 Shelby as there are some wrong informations around (in my opinion)

I think we are on a good way here.

Hello Bob, yes I hope the prices will fall on ten spokes as people now know since some years their 68s came with hubcaps. I think we just call them 68 wheels as they were produced to fit on these maybe it would be right to call them "Aftermarket 68 Shelby Wheels". I heard of the problem with the 68 as mentioned in my post and thats why I ask for some definite answers on the real first 67 wheels the 67 Shelbys came with as a lot of people post and sell wheels that are 68 and later aftermarket wheels that will fit like they are on a 68 and so they couldn't be original 67 wheels as they dont fit plug and play on a 68. The pictures from JD are interesting as he shows what he say is a 67 wheel which has not the spacer on the lugs but it also look raised. It would be great to have some more pictures of these rim style to verify it's really a 67 rim.

And yes there were many variables to the later Ten Spokes and in my opinion its very easy to see what is original and what are the later ones.

I´m not sure anymore with the 67 and 68 wheels. I see different opinions on the 67 and 68 wheels and people that are selling 68 rims as 67 rims. Can someone please verify again what a 67 Wheels makes a 67 Wheels.

It should be clear that the 68 rims had a different finish on the back to clear the 1 piston calipers and they also had this casted in spacer. But exactly these got also claimed as 67´s often here.

Did the 67s ten spoke never had a part number or did the later ones had one? It would be really good to have some more informations about the 67 wheels from verified 67 Shelbys.

this is only about 69-70 horns but I talk about the 67/68 maybe Marcus should do version 2.0 I can help him out with pictures.

Quote from: Royce Peterson on August 12, 2024, 10:40:39 PMThe reinforcement plates started to be used by Ford midway in the 1968 model year. Around March 15 1968. Your 1967 GT500 should not have any such thing.

That's right, and the messy welds on the 67s are not always there on the 390 mustangs.

Can someone maybe check the pictures? Some are obviously 67/68 but on some horns the brackets are in different positions. The one on the right side with the AC Mustang 67/68 bracket is something I know. The normal ones also. But there are some brackets I´m not sure with. Thank you.

Last picture is the top hole (head of the snake)

Thanks to all helping to make this thread.

Just to make the thread better and maybe coralsnake wants to use these infos here some pictures of original holes in original 68 fenders.
#25
These 2 I´m not sure what they are for?
#26
