Non Script oval air cleaner top, 1967 GT 500

[Harris Speedster]

Guys,
Didn't some of the early 1967 GT 500 cars have a non script air cleaner lid?
Sand cast underside.
Top has the lines running through, but no cut out for>> bird, 427 and no Cobra lettering.
Seems I read about it once, or maybe saw a picture of one?
Thanks
John

Some very early GT500's had the sand cast air cleaner lid but it did have the cut for the bird but with no holes for the pins and of course no bird and no Cobra trademark.

Thank you Bob.
Been trying to figure it out.
Seems earlier dual fours lids, had a 427 emblem cutout and then the bird cut out?
That is what has me really puzzled, what could it possibly have come from.

JWH,
Thanks for the pic.
No, the lines travel the entire length of the lid.

Much different than the original std original cobra air cleaner assembly I sold through
SAAC last year. Mild tabs, correct letters etc.
I thought it could possibly be a 62 ish ford, but they had three deuces.
427 dual four "car"  should say 427, unless they too had an early version>

Looks identical to the one on my 67 R code Fairlane.

Looks the part of the early lid on the top side . Need picture of the bottom side to confirm.

Here is a look at the under side of the lid

[JWH]

This is of the bottom of the lid. The PCV fitting looks like a home fix but I have no idea?

Yes, looks like a gennie.

The base does not look genuine home fix or otherwise IMHO.

Bob,
I sent you a picture of the one with the lines running from one end to the next.
Exacting to every aspect to the bird and 427 ones, but with the exception of the lines.
Will keep looking at old ford FE engine pictures, maybe I will get lucky.

I got them . As I commented not for Shelby.Sorry that I can't be of more help as to what application.

[Harris Speedster]

As always, thanks for the help Bob.
I have seen this top on pictures of Ford engines, from old magazines,
Just can't put my finger on it.
If i ever find out, will post back.
Thanks
John

The lid looks typical of ones Ford used in 1964 - 66 full size models. They also sold them over the counter. And they were reproduced by lots of companies over the many decades since. I would not know how to tell if yours is original or not. I got one like that from John Chiacci years ago when he sold Dove parts out of his trailer at Carlisle. Those were made by Dove from original Ford tooling.

Like Bob said not likely for any Shelby.
