If I remember correctly there is a difference between the 67 and the 68 block off plate so it might be best if you list which one it is ;)

Checking the engineering number might help.

The other delete plate engineering number is C7ZB-6504371-B

Not sure why they are both 67 numbers, as I've only seen the "B" plate on 68's

The only difference is the lower chrome edge is rounded off instead of having square edges like the earlier plate.

I can post pic's of both if that will help.

I'm guessing that the change came about with all the other safety related changes in the 68 interior.

Hope this helps, John

First photo is a -A, second is a -B. Look carefully at the profile of the lower edge, and the inside angles where the upper and lower edges meet.

FYI although it may fit on a 67/68 Shelby car. No regular production 67 / 68 Shelby came from the factory without a radio unlike previous years.
