It's always nice to find a "matching #'s" car and here are some of the distinguishing points to look for.

It is easier to pull the motor and transmission as one piece.  The original lift hooks were still on the motor making it easier.

The buck tag on the fender has a 22L meaning the car was built in November 1967,  and has a  corresponding C7ME-A block.

Located on the side of the block is a stamped build date this particular car is stamped 7L 9E.  This represents a build date of November 9, 1967: -  In sequence the first number indicates the calendar year,  the second number refers to the month (there is no I),  the third number refers to the day (the 9th)., the fourth digit (E) is the engineering part # or the service part #,  the E denotes engine power train and chassis engineering.  For further information refer to pages 1292-1297 of the1997 Shelby  Registry.
