    Hi all
    I just realized, that on my early 68 car (#237) I have a different shelby emblem on the passenger side than what I saw on other 68 shelbys. It looks like a 67 emblem.
    I don't know if it is correct, but it looks very original/factory.
    Does anybody know something about this?

    I've seen a lot of early cars (even Aug built) and I've not seen the 67 emblem used. I'm guessing PO

    I agree with Tim. I have seen earlier cars and later ones with the traditional emblems. It most likely was replaced sometime in it's history. Bob

    Just as a side note........the emblem on this early car has a red background. (Probably a prototype part?)
    Granted, there is no proof of this, but it is some sort of possibility....
