Patiently waiting in Pennsylvania...

My '70 GT350 built 5-7-69 (w/AC) has the letters "AA" stamped on the front of the power steering pulley.

The new question is does anyone have anything other than an "AF" pulley??

Is there a 7 in front of the AA on yours?

There in no 7 in front of the AA. There is an "S" directly opposite of the AA on the other side of the pulley. I didn't notice it the first time I inspected it but it's very clear.

Beautiful car, my favorite color combination. Looks fantastic!

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing.

My 70, with a May, 1969 build date uses a dipstick with part # C90E-6750-B. I hope this helps.

I ended up getting my stripes painted flat black. They look fantastic.  I liked the glossy before but this looks way better on the black jade.  Now I know why they originally had them flat for black jade cars.

Looks great! Nicely done.

AA = 21/22
AB = 24
AD = 27
AF = 29?

Thank you very much for this information.

My '70 GT350 (have only owned for a few years) came with a group 24 battery (AC Delco brand if you can believe that) mounted in a group 27 size tray. I replaced it with a group 27 battery based on that and the fact that the car was ordered with the heavy duty battery option. The car is an original 4 speed with air conditioning. My build sheet battery code reads A D. Interested in any other comments/observations on this. Thanks.

I'm interested in what the correct answer is to your question. My '70 GT350 is also black jade and the stripes are also a gloss black. According to my records the car was repainted in 1978. In print I too see that the correct stripe finish should be a flat or matte black, but almost every picture I see of a black jade Shelby, the stripes are glossy. Any shared knowledge on this topic would be appreciated.

Check your website email. I just sent you my build sheet. I hope it helps.
