70 Shelby tire sticker placement

I have had a few people ask me recently about the placement of the 1970 Shelby tire sticker placement . I thought I would start a thread detailing the correct type and placement. The 1970 cars had to comply and look like a 70 model and to that end the 70 Shelby's had things changed to comply. The normal 69 F 60 15 tire sticker which was placed in the glove box of later 69 production Shelby's was removed during the conversion. The tire sticker was torn out leaving residue of adhesive and in some cases part of the old sticker. A regular 1970 Mustang sticker was placed on the passenger side door post above the door catch. I have attached a picture I took of a excellent original unrestored 70 GT500 I had the pleasure of inspecting at last years SAAC convention. I hope this helps. Bob

 

Glad I could help. I was surprised to find that low a VIN converted to a 70 when I double checked the registry. There sure are a lot of cool Shelby's in Sweden. Bob

 

wow, based on what you said it could be anything from a bent push rod to a loose or hung up starter. It would be just a shot in the dark at this point. I know a lot of people running flat tappet cams like use are experiencing a high failure rate shortly after break in because of a lubricant (can't think of the name) that has been taken out of motor oil products because it is detrimental to catalytic converters. I would also be sure to drain the oil and see if you find metal fillings in it . They sell oil additives for us flat tappet guys now at most auto part stores. Let me know what you find out. Bob
