Default Heater Delete Option - How Rare?

My 67 is a factory heater delete car, code RPO 584 purchased in Honolulu, Hi and taken delivery on Feb 1 1967 (have bill of sales, new car delivery receipts, PHS docs and copy of titles).

I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a site that would have the number of 67's delivered with factory heater delete. Just trying to determine if it is a really rare option for 67.

It does have a heater control block off plate on the dash along with the block off plates on the firewall and the absence of all under dash ducting. The heater hose connections on the engine block are also capped off.

When I bought the car I was aware of the heater delete and verified it on the PHS docs. Now my curiousity has gotten the best of me to see just how many were factory ordered heater delete cars in 67.

I've attached a pic of the heater delete plate.


Thanks,
Wayne

Thumbs up

Don't know how many were made that way, but it's a rare option for sure! i've never seen the woodgrain dash delete plate before, only saw the black pebbled one on a couple of 66 GTO's, maybe PHS or the GTOAA people might have a breakdown on this option. mostly an option for warm climates (like Hawaii) and for drag racing to save weight. I see it's your first post, welcome to PY forums!! post other pics of your car as well!!
