The first hundred or so cars equipped with the 16-inch steering wheel had a unique hub assembly consisting of two parts: an aluminum hub and the part shown at the bottom of your picture IMG_4622 (or at the top in image IMG_4623).

The S1MS hub is taller than the aluminum hub.

The real 5S137 was sold a few weeks ago.

For sale again with small added value

I think the original motor is more important in a more valuable car. Let's face it, the 1968 GT350 is the least desirable Shelby. A more desirable Shelby would be the 1967 GT500 - if one of those has its original 428 it is unusual because most of them were blown up long ago. Maybe in that case it would affect value - most folks would prefer a roller motor 347 in a '68 GT350. At least I would. 

But the 1967 GT500 is the only Shelby where it is impossible to know if it is the original engine because in 1967 the 428 engines did not have the VIN stamped so you just need to have the correct date.

Has anyone noticed the rotating messages that make the whole screen jump up and down?
