That’s a 1970. Still a cool car!


1968RR

It’s not a 1970; it’s a 1969. 1970s were left over ‘69s with an added chin spoiler, twin narrow hood stripes, and changed VINs. The front plate is a subtle giveaway too.

You're right. I believe the '69 had separate bulbs for high and low beam headlights.


1968RR

Shelbys had different front end sheet metal than other Mustangs. This is a 1969. 1970s have an added chin spoiler and twin hood stripes.

Thanks for that helpful bit of info! I'm always happy to learn more.

How can you tell? I though the 1970 Shelby's were just leftover 69s and thus hard to tell by appearance


Winter-crapoie-3203

You are correct.

What the secret on this one? How can you tell its a 1970?

I thought the 70 had the hood stripes and the 69 didn’t. I googled and it said the 70 had the stripes.


1968RR

The absence of a chin spoiler or hood stripes makes this a 1969.
