This particular one had what I later found out was called the light weight engine, sidepipes, a roll bar, and nothing else. No hood scoop, no coolers, no swaybars, no fans, nothing.

I wonder how the car ended up equipped that way. Apparently Shelby was not the greatest record keeper. And, it would not be likely that the dealer would retain records from the mid 60's. So, am I simply going to go to my grave never knowing how my car got that way?

Have you thought about contacting the previous owner (s), or even the dealership . What have you got to lose.

BTW, I take it that your engine has aluminum medium riser heads?
