That looks like a later or repro nose.
Dave

Over the years I see '67s with and without chrome trim rings around the tailpipe cutouts on the rear valence. I was under the impression that this was a 1968 thing...... of course I have been wrong before.

Correct, not correct, only correct after a particular serial number or range ?

Thank you in advance........

It was a change done by date, not by serial number. Ford Production date the end of the first week in February which conforms to a late January directive. We began to see the the GT Mustang rear exhaust panels on cars completed at Shelby the beginning of March. With 67's however, there are always exceptions to the rule. It makes them even more interesting.

Is that right to have the Ford VIN in full view? I've never seen it, but I haven't seen them all either.
I thought it had to be covered over with the Shelby Tag.

The Ford vin was meant to be stamped so as to be visible in the notch of the fender for that purpose. That Ford VIN is slightly off from typical. The Shelby VIN plate was meant to cover the Ford VIN for less confusion .In both instances you had humans doing the work so it could vary and did. This is a example of one that varied . It looks a little different from typical but not extremely out of the ordinary.

Many of the 67's were also double stamped which in some cases moved the number so you could see it.

As many of you know, my car 1189 is the same color, roamed the same streets, was driven in the same manor... All or nothing as Jims car. It was even taken off the road the same time frame 70-71 leaving me to believe it was THE CAR everyone was looking for. As we now know it is not the same car, but it would have been fun to have found it once again. We continue to see these barn finds being pulled from places all over the world , it might still be out there . I am guessing it will still show up somewhere, even thou these cars were often thrashed they were still top dogs of their era. Most Shelbys,Copos, Hemis were put away even after they had been thrashed within an inch of their lives, and will continue to be brought back from the dead. For that we are all most greatful.

Dennis,
Your car was always an east coast car located in New York during that time period so it didn't roam the same roads. It also has black interior. Even though I asked you directly to participate in the Registry, you chose not to. It was never the Morrison car.
Dave

The Ford Vin. looks good to me and it matches the Marti report.
Dave

Car #1888 is not the Morrison car. The 67 Registry has told the owner this repeatedly. He still doesn't get it.
We have clear documentation of the real car #939.
The present owner of #1888 even changed the black interior to parchment to make the car look more like the Morrison car.  It isn't.
I hope Motor Trend TV did their homework or they will look like a bunch of idiots.
Dave

Most 67's didn't  have the washers on the shock tower brackets.
Dave

Doug,
You need to buy the 2011 Registry.
:)Dave

Rick still owns his car. It is not a factory 427 car.

Would a car as late as 1983 have the rear valence chrome exhaust trim originally?

No.

Sad day
RIP Jim

Jon is a really good guy and it is great that the original manual is reunited to the car.

The 67 AM/FM radios fit in our 67 Shelby cars. I hv one in my car.

I found another car built 5/5 with a Rug N 1 but like I said in an earlier post, my 4/25 and 5/1 cars both have a HEH BX.
