    Hello and welcome. We love 68s here, If your car is mostly original I'd love to get pictures from you especially of the engine compartment. 68 350's are some of the least documented Shelbys and there were quite a few production changes. As far as parts, it all depends what you are looking for and what level you are restoring to.

    I have been restoring my 68 -500 for ever, I have bought most of my parts from Tony Branda. In fact , when I started dealing with Branda performance, it was Tony answering the phone. I have been most satisfied with his service and parts. He also has a line for info, which can help .You will soon discover their can be a huge difference in quality and fit on repro parts. Nothing fits like a Ford part.
