Thanks guys appreciate the help. I found the actual number in the "69-70 Shelby unique parts catalog" keep forgetting about that book. And here I didn't think you or Ed were a day over 40 lol.

380934-S

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Trunk light ground screw

Looked in search, I am looking to see if anyone has any info on the screw for the ground for the trunk lamp.

Also is it the same acrew for the lamp on the decklid.

AMK lists one for 1969 but doesn't say it is for a Shelby

Any idea what is the best one to use or from where until I find an original one? I have seen them listed from 170 to 550 on ebay.

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Starter solenoid

Bought this about 30 years ago, is this a  correct starter solenoid for 69 gt 500 built in June. Attached picture shows some type of wedge or "T" between both posts, others I have seen do not have this.

Ok thanks Pete, so they didn't use a space saver decal. I put that on in 1994, based on the space saver, another project to make correct. Thank you all for your expertise.

Ok so we, I determined the decklid is probably incorrect. Jeff you had stated that I had the "cougar" instructions decal. But, when I look at other posts on SAAC website there are some "original cars" that have the same decal. So what is the correct decal? When I researched with ECS that is what they've listed for 69 C8WB-17093-B They also have one listed without space saver and it is a C9ZB-17093-A. Do you have any pics on an unrestored?

It appears everything has texture, mine is extremely smooth no texture, now I'm concerned the decklid isn't original. Has anyone observed any that are smooth?

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / 1969 Decklid texture inside

Is the inside area of an original decklid smooth or textured? Some photos I have taken over the years has shown both.

Quote from: Bob Gaines on September 23, 2025, 11:10:44 AMI thought I would mention that just because a option or combination is rare doesn't automatically mean that it is especially desirable.

Good call Bob, that was my first impression Ronald McDonald

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Original hood

Purchased an original hood and started stripping. Appears to be original paint, have a question about the rear grille grates. Were the rear grates held in by epoxy? There is a small repair I need to do on the underside, strip and repaint.

So is the deduction the same if there is no wrap at all? I have pieces that look just plain awful and really don't want to leave it on the harness. Do I completely remove it and tape the harness for now?
