Here is a picture of an original tag on a car:




Here is one from an NOS 65 Headlamp Harness (service part, of course, but looks like all production/assembly line tags I've seen):



And here is the reproduction.  Paper is not exactly like the original.  This is a link from our web site.  I checked stock, and they still look like this.  Only one source that I am aware of.

Any chance we might be able to get a more faithful reproduction of that red tag made?  ECS might be able to do it if they get a good sample to use.  The original paper has a touch of gloss to it whereas the repro is just plain thick paper.

I'll have to ask if he would be interested.  It is also interesting to note that the original is kind of a red "coated" paper.  In other words, if you tore it, it is not red "inside."

You can see this by looking at the pictures of the original and the service part.

Jeff & Brant, thanks for the pics. I'm going to try to make my own. I see what you mean about the type paper though. I believe I actually have some red paper tags that are made of a similar type material. Is the printing on both sides of the tag or just one side?

Believe only printed one side.

You might also try and spray seal the paper after its printed so that you will reduce the possibility of the ink running from moisture later

Where Can I buy a radio suppression (Condenser??) that attaches to the voltage regulator that will stop the static on my original AM radio in my '65 coupe?

I will throw this in for comment: the condenser(s) I've tried have had little effect on radio static. They can't all have been bad. When the rpm increases, so does the static.

The short answer is most of the Shelby's did get bad reception. This is more of a problem with Shelby's then with regular mustangs. Regular Mustangs had the benefit of a all steel hood which added shielding against the electrical interference . A few 66 GT350's had all steel hoods .The rest of Shelby production had fiberglass hoods. In response to customer complaints many 65,66,and 67 Shelby antenna's were move by "dealers" to the rear quarter. A few 68 Shelby's had the antenna in the front but most were relocated to the back from the factory. 1969/70 all had the antenna in the back. I believe this styling change was directly influenced by the radio static issue.  Another fix was to add shielding to the hood. This usually took the form of insect screen wire material bonded to the bottom side of the hood and grounded by the factory ground clip on the cowl. Bob

Looks nice - love the idea of people figuring out how to do things themselves.  Plenty of owners doing "catalog cars"    ;D

Mine has a different orientation of the part number and FoMoCo than Brant's.   C5TA-18827-A2 number with a 452 at the bottom.

Original alternator but not positive it's original to my car as it doesn't have the Hipo pulley.
