The answer is right in front of you....

Kevin Marti can tell you if it came from a Shelby since you have the VIN stamping. Give him what you have and he will give you a report on the whole car.

The trans was originally intended for a Cougar 427 GTE. These transmissions did not come with the cast iron tail shaft originally. I own two Cougar GTE's right now.

Shoe's Motor manual is confused regarding column shift, as far as I know there were no column shift Cougars until the 1974 model year.

This looks to me like a factory error but it would not detract from the value of the transmission. Many GTE owners would pay good money for it. The owner of that Shelby would like to have it also I suspect.
This thread, so far...
