New one on me :)   Looks like a foundry mark not related to the Shelby vehicles. Thanks for sharing

The Ford Utica trim plant was in Shelby Township, Michigan.  I was at the plant in the late 90's.  They were known for door panels, dash panels, etc.  In addition to plastic injection molding equipment, they did have some light gauge metal stamping machines, so something like this would not be a stretch.

Title: 67 Coupe/Convertible RH and LH rear Quarter window Guide stoppers marked SHELBY?
Post by: Kyle Zammit on February 04, 2023, 05:14:39 AM

Hi All,

I have a 67 Mustang 390GTA built at San Jose car Serialized 11/28/66 and Released 12/22/66.

I removed the rear RH and LH quarter window guide and I saw the stoppers marked FOMOCO and Shelby on the stoppers that are riveted to the guide.

These were all like this? Why there is a Shelby cast mark on them? Someone has any information?

Here are two pictures:
Thanks Kyle.

There was a Ford trim plant in Shelby Township, MI that was demolished ~2012, perhaps related to that?
