blueshawk Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 We must be close to having the SGT "snake" gas cap emblem available. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Bud, posted the final image in another thread and said if SPP didn't have them already they would soon. I don't know if anybody called and asked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig-It Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 SPP told me to call back about it the first week of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig-It Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I knew somebody probably called. Did you ask how much? It was somewhere around $20 or $25. Part number 7S3Z-9A031-SGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFBLUE Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 This will probably be my next mod. Will look good with the matching wheel caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a matching steering wheel cap but I still suspect this will never happen given the airbag there and no one wants to touch these, in ANY way, for fear of a lawsuit later by some over zealous lawyer.

2008ShelbyGT Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 How about a simple overlay like this wheel hubcap metallic decal that would look good but not cause any problems with the airbag deployment? Saleen makes a replacement steering wheel cap but it involves removing the existing one. I think an overlay would be simpler and certainly easier. It can be done. "WHEEL CENTER DECAL 1-3/4" DIA. 69/70 SHELBY Vintage 1969-1970 Shelby Decal. Most commonly used as a wheel center decal, this self-adhesive black and silver decal can be used anywhere. Dimensions: 1-3/4" diameter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it was done it seemed a no brainer to me to create a complete set and sell it that way. Gas cap, wheel caps, and steering wheel cover, with a new grill emblem. Didn't happen. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 On the wheel caps, I'm not sure they are necessary as you can already get that same Shelby Snake with or with out the Shelby lettering. I'm thinking of getting the gas cap and Shelby Snake wheel caps (without red lettering). I'm for the steering wheel overlay too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Does anyone know...how many, and where, were the snakes on the 65 - 66 Shelby Mustangs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Does anyone know...how many, and where, were the snakes on the 65 - 66 Shelby Mustangs? I am looking at a few pictures of a 1966 GT350. I can see two (2) cobra emblems. The old style frontal (red, white, and blue) Cobra head. One on the gas cap and one on the steering wheel center cap. The wheel centers are the "CS" emblem. Interestingly the gas cap and steering wheel cap say "Cobra" not Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipBeck Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Does anyone know...how many, and where, were the snakes on the 65 - 66 Shelby Mustangs? Gentlemen, The 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustang had only one Cobra logo on the entire car. It was on the center hub of the wood rimmed steering wheel. There were no Cobra logos on the exterior of the car at all and the car used the standard Mustang rear gas cap cover. The 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang had as many as seven Cobra logos on the car. One on the center hub of the now fake wood plastic rimmed steering wheel, one on the gas cap cover, one at the bottom of the dash mounted tachometer, and, if the optional 14 inch Magnum 500 wheels were ordered, one on each center cap of the Magnum wheels. As the Shelby GT is a modern-day copy of the 1966 GT350 it would seem entirely appropriate to use the Shelby Performance Parts "Shelby GT" wheel center caps with the Cobras on them as well as the Shelby GT faux gas cap with the Cobra on it.

Yeah, I don't know why I didn't just check Ebay to answer my own question. I see what you mean. They also have the tri-bar pony on the front grille like the SGT.

BergShelby Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Took these right off Tony D Branda site. 1966 Gt-350 1965-66 Shelby GT350 running horse grille emblem. 1966 Shelby GT350 Horn Button MAGNUM 500 WHEEL CENTER CAP (GT350) or 1965-66 Shelby GT350 Cragar Wheel Center Cap or 1966 Shelby "CS" 10 Spoke Wheel Cap 1966 SHELBY GT350 GAS CAP 1966 Shelby "Cobra" 9000 RPM Tachometer I think I'm going with the following hubs from SPP...the horn button is the last piece to the puzzle.

ilmor Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I guess I'm slow, but w/ berg's post I just realized that the old gt350 snake / emblem has red, white and blue colors like the tri-bar pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
