Is the trunk lid for a 1968 GT/CS different than the one for a regular coupe. What is the price for a new one (reproduction)

Thanks

It's totally different than a regular coupe. It's the same as a Shelby convertible. Someone had a link to repops here at one time but I don't remember for sure who it was.

The GT/CS trunk lid is all fiberglass, whereas the regular coupe is all metal. The cross braces on the inside of the GT/CS that look like the cross braces on the inside of a regular coupe trunk lid are fiberglass too. And the obvious, the GT/CS trunk lid has the spoiler as integral part of the molded fiberglass.

National Parts Depot has the reproductions (part No. 40110-9A) for $499.95.

I have no idea how the quality is - maybe someone else has tried them?

You will need the fibreglass end gaps too!

I have seen these trunk lids with two different end caps available. One for a Cal Special with the Shelby tailight panel and one with end caps that fit a car with stock tail lights. So you need to get the correct end caps for what you are doing.

Don't assume that they know for sure. Its best to always check and confirm.

I get plenty of questions from Mustang shops, both big and small, some of them are surprising - too many stories of things going wrong to share here ;)

Thanks for the advice Jeff...Thats why I count on this forum. Many shops may not be familiar with the GT/CS since there are few left.
