376hp Auto = Y3
This was incorrect - regarding AIR/Cali codes for 67 428 Automatics
My Apology

The Automatics did not use a separate code - for whatever reason - idunno why.
The Manuals DID use separate codes for AIR/Cali.

Just witnessed a 67 GP 428 Sold New in Cali with AIR
YH code on PHS
612 & 614 (616) Emission Codes on PHS , and AIR equipment still on the car.

Zone/Dealer Code 24-100 in the LA district.
State Codes = To:California (04) -//- From:Kansas (15)

You can view the details/documents/car at this link :
https://www.plainfieldpontiac.com/1967-grand-prix

Still doesn't help build a case for the 4door Bonne being a Cali Car - no AIR pieces are present on the car. But it does open the door for higher "possibility" that it "could" have still been sold there - and all the emissions equipment removed.

Y2 was Police Pkg 360hp Auto
Y3 was Police Pkg 376hp Auto
Anyone care to guess what would have made the Police Pkg a different Block Code ??
i will guess they used more Camshaft ? (068 Manual Camshaft) just guessing

But both were available on 2+2 and GP
So there must be another revised version of the 67 order sheet or separate sheet for GP and 2+2 , or maybe listed on the Special Equipment page.
Rally 2's (Code 453) in 67 could be something that needs more investigating.
Probably the Hood Tachs , also.
Maybe they didn't make it to production - or were late - on GP & 2+2

Would need to find a PHS with #453 listed on it.
None of the 67 2+2 PHS's in the new Registry have #453 listed
Seems like at least 1 would
so ................................... idunno

The biggest oddity about the 67 Hood Tachs - they also are not listed on the 67 GTO Order Form either .
Had never noticed this before.
