Oh Ed, that would not look right in a purple car!

Don't mean to hijack this thread but which knob would be considered correct for a 1969 GT500. The one in this thread or this one.

Yes it would. I got one on my car while my NOS one I got from Jim Cowles is put away. I bought mine from Nate Jones as Ed had them made up I believe. Also I've found a June built GT500 FB  that came from the factory with a blue stripe knob.

I have seen a number of unmolested 69 Shelby's with the typical 69 racing stripe knob. It is more the exception then the rule IMO. The all woodgrain knob is what is meant to be in the 69/70 Shelby given it is even illustrated in the owners manual.

Back in 2009 I bought a blue stripe knob off of #2917( Vinny and I narrowed the car down). The son of the original owner pulled the shift know off right before it was stolen and never found 6 months after purchase. The dad kept the shift knob as a memento and the mother gave it to her son after his father died. June built so Ford was making the mistake still. Well for them being there because of theft Ed has a letter from AO Smith citing the wrong shift knobs being installed on cars in a memo to Ford  in 1969.

Gary , Yes the all wood grain know is correct . I guess you didn't read my post saying that the all wood grain knob was what was meant to be in the 69/70 Shelby given it is illustrated as such in the owners manual.
