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.

Thanks for the photo in the link. 

Great ideas.  Thanks.

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

Does anyone know where I can get the blackout for the trunk lock?

Here's mine off an early Shelby. 

I heard it will become an AI data center.

I remember those Michelin-Tire-Man looking winter coats. 

I used Vacuum Orna Metal in Michigan.

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. 

When I bought the car in 2009, the door tag was painted red.  I tried unsuccessfully to strip the red paint and gray primer off the tag, but leave the black etching.  The original tag is going back on.  I also don't want to risk losing the original tag and someone finding it and putting it on a different car.  My Shelby Automotive tag is missing some of the black etching and words also.

Thanks Bob.  I appreciate the response. 

I'm considering painting the tag flat black and wiping the paint of the raised characters to allow reading the tag to be easier.  Not sure just yet.
