Can someone help me with the year of this car?
 
Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and I was wondering of someone could help me out? I was hoping someone could tell me what year this car was? I figured if anyone knew, this would be the place to come. :)

67 or 68 ... best i can do ...i think the inner two lites make the dif ....

If everything is correct, it's a 67. 68 had a different hood.

the mustang photo gallery does`nt help a lot but it looks like the 67 had the inner lites and a 68 had outer lites ..

there is still something dif about the lites so the Op`s car is unique but i dont know why ...

I would say 67 but those inner lights are a bit different. Do you know if this all original or a build?

That one if original would be a early production 67 GT500. Later on in the production years many states had laws about having the lights in the center of the grill so Shelby was forced to move the two lights outboard. The real difference between the 67 and the 68 Shelbys visually is the front hood, and bumper (68 looks like the modern GT500s) and that is just about it for the exterior without getting into major detail

I'd say '67 because it's missing the '68 fender lights on the quarter panels?

Yep. I wasn't as sure of that because of the angle.
