Check out this Ad below, Cobra part seems a mistake being they were gone after ‘67 but was the Shelby an Auto w/ AC also what mileage when traded in?
If no chance this one fits, please share more details about the car.

We were in North New Jersey (Middlesex) and I wouldn't be surprised if Benedetti Olds was the dealership where my parents traded the car.
The car, as I remember, was equipped with AC, Auto, folding rear seat possible an AM/FM radio. The tires were Goodyear Polyglas GT. My Dad would to tell everyone that the car equipped with the "full racing package" (what ever that might have been)
The mileage would make sense since they traded it in so soon and it wasn't used as their daily driver.

All seems to fit very nicely, especially being traded in at an NJ Olds Dealer.
Does the May ‘70 Ad date suit the timeline you remember?

Very sorry to hear of your health situation too,
more thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Thank you for the kind thoughts. The Olds dealer, the timeline; everything seems to line up.
