Hi , I have 1968 gt350 that has been in my family since the early eighties,both me and my nineteenson eat, drink, and sleep shelbys.LOL The end of last month we had just left my house on our way to a cruise night, when we stopped at a traffic light when we hit from behind. I am hoping that I can find some of the parts I need through this forum , I know I dreaming,but I would love to find a nos rt rear qtr and rear body panel, as well as the taillamp panel and rt qtr end cap.That would kind of be a start ,the car could really use a rear clip,but I want to have it pulled and see what it looks like ,the decide what to do.I have to say I am pretty sick over it.If there is anyone that may be able to help some how please get in touch.thank you
Hi Ed and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the smash, thats sux. You didn't say whether vert or fastback. The fastback 1/4s are all but non existent, verts are out there but pricey. Good news is any experienced body shop can graft a more common coupe 1/4 to either. Taillamp panels are fairly common as well as 1/4 extensions. I would not clip the car. If its really bad and needs structural parts as well I would consider a donor car for the parts. If you can post some pictures or email them to myself or Coralsnake we can give you some direction as we have both had a lot of practice in 68 Shelby body repair. Tim
I have an nos left quarter panel, but not a right. It's going to hurt if you want to pry it from my shelby hands. As Tim mentioned the tail panels are fairly common as are trunk floors and end caps. Feel free to call upon us. Because we also live and breath Shelby.
Thank you,sorry it took me a bit to get back.I know i had forgotten to mention that my car is a fastback. So I bet the qtr you is prolly for a convertble,that is the way my luck runs.LOL But if it is for a fast back,please let me know what it would take to pry it from your hands.lol Thanks, Ed
It is for a fastback. The price is $3,500. (I told you it was going to hurt) I have only seen two NOS 1968 Ford Fastback quarters in 30 years. The part is located in Wisconsin.
