Parts Wanted for 1968 Shelby GT350 Convertible...1 Owner Car, Preservation Resto

[Vernon Estes]

Hey guys!

Just wanted to drop a wanted ad for the below parts as Charles and Nathan Turner are currently in the process of completing a preservation-style recommissioning of a very special 68 Shelby for me. The car is a factory Black/Black GT350 convertible with factory air and automatic transmission. The car is special because it has just come out of the ownership of its original owner. The ole girl has had a paint job but is otherwise mostly an unrestored car...really sweet, honest car. We are looking to clean the car up, rebuild the required systems, and add what original/used/nice parts we can find to match the originality and integrity of the car. If you have any of these parts in unrestored but presentable condition, we'd love the chance to put them on a worthy car!

Please PM me here on the forum or send me an email at vestes85@gmail.com if you have something!

The white brake booster vacuum port is original but they were normally painted black along with the booster / filter and master cylinder.

This car has a later Shelby #, but the Ford build was early March '68.  Since the booster valve type is a Ford running change, should be able to figure out from other cars built close in production at Metuchen.

I believe this is the original booster from my 3/14 built GT500. Will get a better picture later..

Brunson Performance just started remaking oval air filters. Not sure if it's what you're looking for.

My March 4 build has center tit and manifold.
