1967 Running Production Changes

[2dragpac500converts]

Thats great.

I just spent a couple of hours last week with my exhaust guy cutting up a branada set , shrinking down and adding another piece of pipe to fit the 1 3/4 inch tailpipe. Oh well maybe i can take the others off when his become available and sell to a kid with a honda.

Just a reminder to all who are interested in this thread, Randy has set aside a gallery just for us at http://www.shelbyforums.com/gallery/...ages.php?c=523. Please feel free to post your pictures of the fine details regarding production change differences here. Right now there is just one photo. Let's see what we can do to add to it. Thanks.

I decided to take tonight and read this entire thread. It is very informative. I was curious about something. The door brushed alum. Did the early cars just have a cut leading edge? What about trunk filler board? I have seen 67's with the style that were held down with 2 screwsand washers aswell as the kind that just laid there with part of the filler board folded down holding it in place.

In addition to my previous post on the trunk filler board. After installing fender emblems today. I think the early cars had different style emblems. They are not raised. They are smooth.

What do you guys think?

I believe we touched on the emblem subject before early inn this thread but in we didn't . The early car emblems have a smooth surface and different artwork when compared to the later car embossed emblems and artwork. Bob

Hi all,
In addition to what Bob just added,it looks like the registry shows several cars were shipped without emblems,and I noticed in the Shelby buyers guide there is a picture of a car with the emblem in a different than the accepted "normal" location--it appears more centered and higher up.We are currently working on the source/date of this to try and figure out which car it is.To answer your original question,the emblems are different.they lack the embossing and have slightly different artwork.There was a set pictured on the saac forum within the last year,and it showed them side by side.One more of the many running changes that occured in 67 production.
Are you going to the convention with 0018?
looks like you are in the final stages of completion WOW!!
Looking great!
P.D.

Just to add to what was already touched on. The emblems artwork is not only different ,but the actual size is noticeably smaller on the early cars.
On my dash emblem there are no studs it appeared to be glued to dash alum.

Chris,

Why don't you drop that photo into http://www.shelbyforums.com/gallery/...ages.php?c=523? Let's start adding to the 1967 Running Production Changes photo gallery! Thanks.

I put photo in gallery.

One other thing after looking at various car is the ammeter gauge wiring. I have seen some black and red wiring and others with both red wires. I dont know if this is an early late thing or maybe just running out of one and substituting one for the other during production.

Sure and learning alot about early cars.

It would be a running out or mistake issue. SA bought the wire in bulk and had a lot. Black and red is standard. I don't remember running across one or hearing reports of two red Amp wires before so it must be a rare occurrence. The original wire had "machine wire" printed on it if it is original. Bob

I will check. for writing. Mine had two reds. Cant really prove it had not been changed somewhere along the line.

Chris,that is why I mentioned the writing so you could confirm . Even a mistake is worth noting if there is reasonable proof that it was done at the factory IMHO. You owe me another diet coke.

My car also has both Red wires for the Ammeter wiring. Don't know any history about it.
