    Someone who owned the car in the last 8 years put a black top on the car. It came from A.O. Smith with a White Top in June of 1968. I just got the white top put back on it yesterday. Which look do you like better? I also am getting rid of the 10 spokes, I got some original steel wheels and original hub caps for it as well.

    Just curious, black or white?

    Great Car. Having The Same Debate With My Car. I Decided To Go With The Factory Color. Are You Going To Sell Your 10 Spokes? I Am Still Searching For 1 Steel Wheel For A Spare. Any Hints As Where To Locate One?

    They were not "Genny" 10 spokes. I just keep checking Ebay and calling the known national shelby parts dealers.

    P.S. My car is #3784, I bet they were built in NJ on the same day. I see yours is #3760.

    I prefer the black top but the white top is ok since the side stripe is white.

    I like the black better but if white was the original color thats what I would go with.
