I know its just the owners signage, but "concours" might be a stretch on this one.

Restoration might be generous 🤗

The catch is pushed into the metal plate on the original. The reproduction parts are not like the originals

The op left the chat and hasnt returned

No Paxtons on 1968 production Shelbys

About 250 build sheets and probably 500 warranty tags. Shelby made the modifications to differentiate the cars from Mustang. Its why they also had the 3.89 gears

Cars magazine featured the GT350 that was a custom build with 302 "high output".

I agree would have been much a better presentation without playing pretend

I can see Ford utilizing 28 spline 9" axles for GT350's auto and 4 spd - and I would expect Mustang J codes with 28 spline 4 spd 9" and GTs autos maybe but autos non GT using 8".

Didn't all 31 spline traction Lok rears have 4 pinion diffs and 28 spline used 2 pinion diffs? And Daytona pinion support came w/31 spline rear.

Ford was too cheap... whoops frugal/efficient to overbuild and they ruled Shelby in 68.

302 4V was a high volume build.

Its not really a debate what they used.

Its quite clear based on the build sheets and tag codes.

1968 GT350s were 31 spline cars. Period.

Wut?

No.

a 1968 Shelby GT350...

Was a 31 spline, 9 inch with a nodular case, no single rib cases

The id tag you have is from a big block with AC car

All the Shelby axles are listed there

I suspect this problem is equally as relevant on late models

There is no difference. Its not a complicated system.

Do you have any "upgraded or after market" parts in the system?

Are your calipers correctly installed?

Would love to see some pictures of # 659

I think theres a lot more classic industries there and a lot less Ford

I hope thats bad lighting because that looks more like Black Jade than Highland Green

Shelby axle codes are different from Mustang axle codes, just like Mr Speegle mentioned

I thought the parts about the repaints were over emphasized as well

I probably would have not mentioned it came out of a junkyard

I get its part of the history and you dont have to deny it...
