It might be hard to find a buck tag for a early 69 Shelby since it was
normally removed on a 69/70 Shelby because it was in the way for the
people installing the front clip as it was being lowered onto the
chassis as it was being installed as a complete assembly as per Shelby
standard procedure. I have come across one or two but they were the
exception rather then the rule. What is usually left is a screw hole
and on a original paint car, a slight bare metal spot on the radiator
support were the tag would have been since it was on the car before it
was painted. A Marti report will give you any information you might need
if the Shelby registry doesn't give you all the info you need. Hope this
helps . Bob G
