Im not too familar with 69-70 shelbys
I have a set of center caps , trying to determine if they are originals or repops.
They are plastic and have CCPC S9MS-1130-B number on the back .
 I noticed that Scott Drake / Holley offers a reproduction (catalog part number S9MS-1130-D) , But im not sure if those scott drake ones have any numbers on the back?

thanks

I have a set of what appears to be NOS center caps , trying to determine if they are originals or repops. they are plastic and do have S9MS.... numbers on the back

thanks
I have some in the blue and white Ford service marked boxes with the green epoxy and also ones in the plastic sealed Ford service marked plastic bags with the green epoxy. The repros are typically a different color epoxy. With that said once mounted most of the good repros I have seen are good enough to pass for Ford inventory.

thanks for the info Bob.
If you get a chance, can you tell me if yours have the same numbers on the inside back lip?
I plan on selling these and id hate to advertise them as originals if by any chance they are not

Yes my caps all have the extremely hard to read and small engineering numbers made into the  perimeter upper edge of the plastic mold . The ones that the metal mounting clip frame doesn't obscure you can read. Others are mostly obscured by the metal.  I would be surprised if the repros had that. I think that you can safely say that they are original if they have the engineering numbers . Best of luck with your sale.
