Title: Shelby parts catalog from 1968
Post by: mjd 65 on August 10, 2013, 12:42:03 AM: A few years ago, my uncle gave me a Shelby parts catalog he received in 1968, along with the original envelope and form cover letter from Carroll Shelby. I came across it today, and thought I'd share a few pictures. The catalog is 28 pages long and covers mostly engine parts, but also contains wheels and some body parts. If anyone wants to see any specific parts, just let me know.

If so, send me a PM.

The copyright date on mine is January 1968, and the postmark on the envelope is March 26, 1968. :)
