Gas caps Original ?

I have gas caps for the Mustang 64-73.
The most caps have an Autolite or Motorcraft logo. But, for the year 1964,5-65 also 1965 GT 350. I do have one with (Autolite) and one without logo. A nos cap for the Shelby 1966 Gt350 has the original packing but not a logo on the cap.

Which gas caps are originals ?

Re: Gas caps Original ?

Motorcraft replacement parts came out in 1972, this name replaced the Autolite name. The Autolite brand name today is not the same Autolite from the 60's Motorcraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beats me. I would think the original would have FoMoCo stamped on it some where.

Does nobody know more over original or reproduction?

Tony Branda has NOS '66 GT350 caps as well as reproductions. If you contact them they may be able to tell you the difference. Make like you might buy one and I'm sure they'd be more likely to help!
