"This Shelby is powered by an original J-code 302ci 4-barrel engine" ......................... Is "WITH an Original J-Code" the same as "with THE Original J-Code"?  Is that the Engine it was Born with?

It looks to be a very well done car from the pictures .I believe that I have judged that car before in years past.  The reproduction parts seen in the birds eye view of the engine compartment would seem to indicate the "done to DIVISION I standards was probably a typo or over optimistic opinion . SAAC DIV I and MCA Thoroughbred require mandatory deductions for any reproduction parts.

I'm guessing there is a relationship between this car and the 1969 being auctioned. The build sheets for the 1968 are pictured in that auction. Hopefully the new owners can get that straightened out.
