The answers were: Painted rocker stripes (with vinyl lettering), and trunk mounted battery for the first 300 (or so) cars in '65. I'm not sure about the lack of striping that 02Mach1 is reffering to. If it is the LeMans stripes, those were an option on '65, '66 and '67 Shelbys and often dealer installed as well.
Here's a real brain popper; Why were Shelby's painted white with blue stripes ? The real question hidden here is why were American cars in international competition blue/white or white/blue?
