Shelby parts catalog from 1968
« on: August 10, 2013, 12:42:03 AM »
A few years ago, my uncle gave me a Shelby parts  catalog he received in 1968, along with the original envelope and form cover letter  from Carroll Shelby.  I came across it today, and thought I'd share a few pictures.  The catalog is 28 pages long and covers mostly engine parts, but also contains wheels and some body parts.  If anyone wants to see any specific parts, just let me know.

Thanks for sharing. I'd be interested in a copy of this one in exchange for a copy of the 67 Shelby parts catalog, if that could be a deal?
If so, send me a  PM.

Thanks for sharing, I have a similar catalog also, but the cover is different.

Many of the ads (parts sections were used multiple times during the years. Thing this is a 66 catalog (but the real date should be on the catalog)  - thanks for sharing. Need to scan a bunch of these and put them up in the library

The copyright date on mine is January 1968, and the postmark on the envelope is March 26, 1968.  :)
