Thank You!  That looks like a dimple, and not a punch out.  I think the earlier years actually had a punch out.

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Photo Reqest - Firewall

Does anyone have a photo of the punch out in the firewall for the clutch rod for a '69 Shelby?  I'm looking for a photo from an automatic car that has not had the punch out removed yet.  Thanks.

I'd add to the advice already given to check if the FE block in the car you are considering has been overbored to .030 or not.  If it has, there are lower chances the car's cooling system will cool the engine very well.  If I ever bought another big block, I would want a standard bore block, and have 8 sleeves installed instead of boring it.

I'd personally buy a GT350 and buy a stroker crank to make it 408 or 427 CID and 550HP reliable horsepower.  There's a guy out in Indiana with a yellow '69 GT350 that built a really nice, tastefully modified car.  I don't remember his name, but he would be a good person to contact.

It's not cheap, but bossniner on eBay has a lot of stuff for sale.

If you could find a NOS original that would be the best option.  I found mine on eBay but that was 10 years ago.

Great ideas.  Thanks.

Does anyone have a photo of what it is supposed to look like?

Has anyone used this company and had a claim?  If so, how was your experience?

Car is registered in Florida, but stays year-round in Pennsylvania.  I'm trying to find a broker/agent out of Florida that underwrites with American Modern.

I just received my non-renewal letter from Heacock Classic/American Modern.  No reason given for the termination.  I've been with them for 20 years or so and never had a claim.
