I would guess it was closer to mid Oct possibly into Nov 65, looking at other cars with similar Shelby VINs, but we'll not know or even be close without more data points to compare to. Of course the carbs were built in batches so some cars would have receive "recently" made carbs or much older stock depending on other factors and the luck of the draw. Sounds like your not really focused on dates and you have something that will work. As far as jets in the carb there is no way of knowing if the ones in yours have been changed so time to pull it down and check to see what the little number on the side tell you and go from there.

Got to love AI 

Just to offer a bit more help for you and others reading this thread.

...............They're the ones with the rings with the small holes, right?

Yes on the front versions. Rears had an slightly larger outer upper body shield than standard shocks made by the same company for Ford for standard, non-export models. 

At the same time tens of thousands of Gabriel aftermarket adjustable shocks were made through the 80's so many of used examples of those also with plenty of little or larger differences. So easy to confuse between originals and aftermarket in a quick glance.

Do you mean that the adjustable Gabriels were part of the "Export package" (and thus different from the ordinary Handling Package Autolite shocks) on regular (export) Mustangs?

Yes and had been since 1965

Here is a picture of a 4L (Nov 64) dated adjustable rear shock from an export 65 Mustang as an example. These were shared on the CMF years ago. Have 4H dated ones, in picture form, also. Paint color changes during 66 production

Girl was very lucky while being unlucky

Hope this helps

Tag has now been found.

I think you meant to say a second VIN tag has been posted 

Good to know and thanks for the effort 

Jeff- Pete you guys are making it a little faster then intended! I think OL SHEL went 175 mph on the Goodyear test track not 187... I think the goal of 177 is still within range of what it is capable of! After having a total knee replacement it might be for a younger guy to give it a go, will have to see- just a little detour thats all.

Wonder (getting distracted from what I should be working on    what the max/top speed (someone smart here will likely figure it out) of a similar vehicle just dropped from a great height.   Oh well passing thought back to today's focus.

Its important to have your battery decal filled out properly when you go 187 mph

😹

Why of course, since at 188 mph they self-detach for weight reduction. 

Some under hood all Ford stickers for a GT500; ...............

Filled out Battery Test decal on passenger side inner fender near battery.

Would add that the battery test decal shown is not correct for a 67 built at San Jose in a number of ways.  None of the filled out information matches an original 67 SJ sticker.  The one shown is the one that is commercially sold and is based on a 69-73 Dearborn built Mustang or other Ford built at that plant stickers.

In addition for the engine compartment you would have an engine ID sticker, hard to see but it was there.

Additional ones outside the two areas discussed you have the tire pressure in the glove box and the shipping tie down behind or where the rear license plate would be located. If you want to go further you have all the wire loom labels/stickers but ID and assembler. Lots of people don't go that far.  There are others depending on options and such but will not mention those since I don't believe they apply to your specific car.



Here are three more pictures of the location of Plaza stickers on cars from the period your car was built and after.

Thanks for responding Jeff... I see stickers on some 67 Shelbys but not others. Did some get them and others not. Plaza glass if memory serves me right, dont remember if it was under decklid and hood or if just the fiberglass late only cars without the steel liners?

Yes its for 1189 if it makes a difference.....

Well yes it does since the Plaza stickers would have only been found on all glass hoods or trunk lids so if you didn't use that steel lined hood you had then yes both would have received on though they often didn't stay stuck long.

Here is a thread on the hood and placement

And for trunk lids and so that I can get you at least one picture right this second of one trunk application try this thread for the moment.

Remember if they are located in an area where over spray from the exterior surface overspray would have attached itself then the sticker got overspray as mentioned in the threads. Don't know if or who is currently reproducing good quality repos but here is a thread on one of those efforts

Will post some additional pictures/examples in a little while for you and others

Now that my car is nearing completion... I wanted to know what under hood and decklid stickers were used on a 67? Where were they placed, and did all get the same stickers. Thanks in advance!

Are you asking about the possible labels applied to the hood and or trunk lid from the supplier on some cars/parts or about the stickers and decals applied in the engine compartment and trunk areas?

This is for 67 #1189 correct?

............... One guess I can make is because the '65s and Carryovers came with Konis, they received the full washer and when Ford moved away from Konis, they went to the "D" shaped washer? Again, just me guessing.

Ford didn't install Koni's and the shock mounts with the washers were designed for use on export Mustangs like the export brace was. These cars used adjustable Gabriel shocks like the majority of the 66 GT350's. The Koni's and the different top attaching bolts was part of the Shelby conversion during the 65 and carryover cars
