[67valiant 100]

he owns a mopar restoration shop so eventually it'll get done. Currently he's doing a '71 hemi 'cuda convertible clone for himself. I believe he told me the dart was his first car he bought.

I have personally seen 4 1967 Dart GTS 4-speed convertibles and owned two of them, and have never seen and automatic, so I do not believe your numbers are correct. They have never been published anywhere before you did, so where did you get the convertible numbers?

I got these numbers years ago.

In 1968, one of our Racing Group members from Lake Carmel, New York
had a 1967 GTS 383 convertible 'automatic'.

In April 1967, he bought it 'new' in Jacksonville, Florida - off the showroom floor.

383/280 HP -- Automatic with 3.23 Gears.
Yellow, with White Interior, and White convertible top.

In 1968, he ran it in G/SA {11.00 - 11.49 Wt/Hp} at Dover Drag Strip, New York.

In 'stock trim', ran around 15.40's.

If I read the VIN right, with the H in the fifth digit, that friends is/was originally a 383 car.

Yes...'67 GTS was "H" code only/ 383...no 440 in '67, and 273-4 barrel would be "E" code, "D" was 273-2 barrel, "F" is 318.

That doesn't answer the question of what was your source for those numbers.

This is great information that I have been unable to locate anywhere else. Do you know the source? I have recently purchased one of the 871 Hardtop 4-Speed Charger 273 cars.

69 Cuda 440 passed away a few years ago. He was a treasure trove of information of unknown sources although those figures are in my option code book.

Those numbers have been golden for a couple decades now. I recently heard about the 6th 67 GTS convertible that has been found. No numbers will ever be determined on how many were built out of the 457.

I didn't know that, I saw the thread was kind of old. Thanks.
