Re: 67 Shock Tower Bracket

Discussion in 'Shelby Mustang List' started by ORLMUST@aol.com, Feb 13, 2005.

  1. Shelby Fans,

    We too, have seen many 67 & 68 Shelby's without the reinforced "Export" shock
    tower washers. Several very original cars were found with a washer on one
    side only. Poor quality control was responsible.

    What were some of the unusual body marks or changes made to identify
    Shelby's?

    I restored a 70 Boss 302. Inside the R/H quarter panel, was clearly written
    " B O S S". It was drawn in body caulking, nice and smooth. Like the
    installer had plenty of experience in writing with caulk.

  2. Pete,

    My son has a 69 428 CJ Fastback that has written inside the left rear quarter "No Beer Here". Talk about patina!
