Topic: 1966 Shelby GT-350 underside of Hood paint

shelby invoice does not list stripes. dealer invoices seem near impossible to obtain.

Stripes are extra charge and would typically be on the invoice. If it was given a pass then would have to do the same for superchargers, Hone overdrives etc. It is all about choices . The owner makes the choice.

since a lot of stripes were added by the dealer, how could that be proved? how does one find out how the car was delivered from the DEALER?

  Good question. Perhaps a clue to the answer to this question and thousands of other such questions about our cars can best be answered here: http://tootsie.com/howmanylick-experiments

Part of the problem is that LeMans stripes were not always done when the car was sold new but later which calls into question any that records don't indicate were optioned. Sometimes no doubt by a Ford dealer and sometimes not. Sometimes they were added much later sometimes by the dealer but most likely for a variety of reasons more times by the owner at other places besides the dealer.
