While a 67 Shelby convertible was never in the sales lineup, your project is legit because the original Shelby convertible concept car was built in 67 with all the 67 Shelby body parts. At least that's my understanding. You'll be building a replica of the concept car. Keep us posted on your progress.

Built this in 1980-1982 based on a standard 68 convertible. Pictures are from 1985!

Fiberglassspecialtiesnv.com had the no front bumper nose piece I wanted. And the hood.
