Any 68 Shelby guys out there that can tell me if these Autolite shocks are date coded? I found these NOS front shocks in my dad's parts pile of unidentified parts and was able to find out the application online but not much other info on these. My second question would be if anybody here has any idea what these would be worth.

TIA,
Chris

Whats the full part number on them? There are differences between auto and 4 speed shocks as far as I know.

Hi Matt,
The full part # is Z7ZD-18045-A. I googled the part # and it came up with a link to the SAAC that had a posting with the same part # of these shocks and the answers the poster received listed them as 68 Shelby for both GT350 and 500. It listed the original manufacturer as Gabriel for Autolite. I actually have 3 of these and 2 are identical with only the Autolite stamping with the part # as shown in the picture while the 3rd odd one has FOMOCO and the part # is the same Z7ZD-18045-A.
There is a T6KA stamped on the FOMOCO one and T6LE on the 2 Autolite ones. I was curious if this might be a date code. All 3 are also stamped Made In Canada.
Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris

These are 67 GT 350 and GT 500 shocks because of the dates. The 67 and 68 used the same shock. The fronts are the same regardless of auto or 4 sp. The rears are different though. The just happen to have one of the last FoMoCo shocks before they went to the Autolite stamping which continued for the rest of the Shelby production period.
T6KA is first week October 1966
T6LE is 5th week November 1966.
