The blue GT500 is 1653.

Here is the original road test picture for that car. I identified it by this decal and a few other items.

Tim says the height of the decklid face is 5 7/8" at the end cap seam.  You can see the decal takes up most of that space.



The cells for the tailights are 3.5 (wide)  x 4.0 (tall) That should get you in the ball park.  Not sure if its white or silver, I would go with a silver and not chrome.

I think probably 4 inches is a good guess for height. I opened this picture in paint and you can show grid squares and see how they compare to the taillight cells.

I see a little more above the decal and less below (like 3/4" below and 1 1/8" above)

Since this one is a little less than the real "Bullitt" we should just call it "Bull"

There are dyes and acids that can bring up numbers that have been ground off and expose welds that are not visible to the eye

The bull nose is by far the most common for a 1968 Shelby 😄

Any objective person that looks at that list realizes it's not the original car.

Some people like to live in fantasy land

New shocks had painted threads. I suspect these have been repainted.

I have not seen the white ID marks before.

So the scammer sends out this Marti report

If you cant recognize at least three mistakes, you really should not be buying a Shelby



There aint nothing right about that. No Shelby number, jacked up date codes, and words that make no sense.

How are things in Bangladesh, Boba?

It does make me laugh
