I wonder, if the hood scoop was dealer installed, did they just cut a hole and pop rivet the scoop on?

I think it would come down to how many street 427's were dealer ordered, sent to the dealer, then purchased by an individual, vs an individual ordering a car to be built by Shelby through a dealer. If the latter, I would guess that with enough of money, Shelby could install any option. I would think that most street 427's were not ordered this way. If the dealer ordered the car, then he would probably just order a standard car, or with "options" as listed by Shelby, nothing fancy or expensive. Then, the dealer could modify the car further to the purchasers liking if needed. Who is going to pay for shipping back to and from Shelby for any additional modifications unless it's something very special.
