You may see some other areas where the two differ.

Look at this original street car for some additional views, it look like a remote filter but, it may not have been there by Shelby when it was first built.

A car of the vintage shown from the Canepa collection is far from original, it would have had magnesium wheels, not aluminum star bursts, Armstrong shocks not Konis, engine mounted oil filter, dual holleys on a low riser engine, a steel oil pan, and no front sway bar, it also appears to be missing the PCV valve and hose. This is a modified street car not an original street car.

It has been changed significantly from original delivery condition
