My original column is rough and needs a total rebuild, plus it's missing some unobtanium parts. Found a 1967 that's completely restored for a fair price. Are there any differences besides the color of the vacuum motor?

Looking for console insert, ammeter (found one thx), oil pressure gauge seal between console and dash. PM me
Found them all thanks for the help. I do have an extra oil pressure guage, excellent condition, if anyone is interested.

After a 6 year endeavor, I finally secured this GT350 4SPD Convertible. Red/black/white top. Had been sitting for 30+ years after someone started a restoration and didn't get very far. It had never been restored previously. Most of the original Shelby bits are there, but they are in pretty rough shape. Thank you to all on this site, along with the registrar and Kevin Marti for guiding me in documenting it's authenticity. My journey continues! PS newbie here as well as a newbie Shelby owner.

Got it. Saw the post above with a listing, same one on eBay thats 12/30/67; guessing that's too early so I will keep looking.

Thank you all for the sound advice; what a great place to get answers. I have decided to compromise and go the date correct approach on drivetrain components. A reputable local Ford engine builder (JBA San Diego) claims easy 325-350 hp with a stroker kit, head massage and cam. Certainly enough power to have some fun with.

One last question, in searching for a block and top loader, how far back from the build date should I look?

My bad . Thanks!

Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum. I purchased my firan original 68 GT350 convertible basket case. All original parts are there except engine/trans. I plan on doing a full and correct restoration, but with the drive train long gone, here is my question: In terms of value and resale, am I better off sourcing a date correct J code/T-10 or a more powerful and fun to drive 330 or 347/5spd set-up (my initial preference)? I do plan on keeping engine bay as stock as possible. Thanks!
