Great - then serve 'em up! We'd like to see photos of original, unrestored cars only.

Like everything else at Shelby American, there are no certainties. These cars came with 427 center oilers, 428s, and 427 side oilers. The engines were assembled at Ford, then shipped to Shelby for install. The Galaxies and Fairlanes did not have them, so they did not receive the emblems at Ford. So did Shelby American put them on, or owners, or ?

There may be pics out there with the emblems, but there sure are pics without as well. I'm not convinced either way.
