$100 seems like a "no-brainer" for a correct part.  Probably the cheapest correct part you'll find for a Shelby.

#0244

Mecum website lists it as sold for $79,200

Someone put a lot of work into that carpet. Maybe it was added to muffle the noise from the rear? Maybe they added the rear speakers for the same purpose.

Have you asked Chuck if he remembers the car?

And only $180 to ship them UPS Ground! Ouch!

What does the date code translate to?  T8MA

Is there a difference between the later die cast lid and a 68 lid?  Besides the wrinkle finish.

Very cool.  Thanks.   

The link doesn't seem to work.

Damn, I miss that guy and his "NO BS attitude"   

This thread has been dormant for a while.  I figured since the car was last known in California and the convention is there this year I would throw it out there.

Please keep your eyes peeled for 8T03S173645-01995, a white '68 GT500 convertible.

A previous owners daughter would love to find out what became of her father's prized possession.

I use 6-1/2 quarts.  After I run the car, I let it sit overnight and then recalibrate my dipstick by increasing or decreasing the wavy bends up by the handle. I set the level to read at the full mark cold. I prefer to check my oil cold, when I know it's back in the pan.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure all dual exhaust cars had the reinforcements under the back seat and in the frame rails along with the different snubber bracket and brake line relocated, with both systems Arvinode or mufflers.

Keep in mind that the GT option wasn't available until around mid March, so any K codes built before then couldn't be GTs.

And I thought I was close.  181 was built the next day.

I got your back!
