Here is an Original ‘67 dash surround.

I bought it's brother the day before the Kissamee auction. verified matching numbers and mostly unmolested one owner 67. major differences are the options mine a 330 hp, no a/c, manual windows and manual seats but does have PS and PB. Although very well cared for, no restoration has been done. The usual chrome pitting, chips and worn interior, what you would expect of a 50 year old convertible original car.
Point is, I'm clueless why that one went over 110K. Mine was 65K. My question, was it a total frame off screw for screw restoration or was that the shape it had been stored in and all original?

WOW,

I’ve owned many 1967 GTO’s and never knew of a 370 HP being offered.

Now I learn of a 330 HP in a ‘67.

Really.

Finger guard *AND* fan shroud? Master cylinder. Really looks like they painted all four
coil springs with... shock absorber gray.
Not going to pick the car apart. It’s a nice restoration with a few incorrect things.
As stated above the fan shroud is wrong
Also they are using the generic Assm. Decals which are for a ram air car. ZL axle on the tube
Being an auto with air the car isn’t available with a 4:33 rear.

The hard part about seeing this is.... I know where a 1967 black on black on black 360/HO convertible is sitting and the guy WILL NOT SELL IT. Frustrating as hell.

I assumed a 330 HP because that is what I've always been told, occasionally I've heard 335 hp and 360 HP for the HO. I'd like to know the real number, if anyone knows. THX

Yes, I know.

For the 1967 GTO.

All engines were the 400 C.I.

Three different horsepower ratings, (335, 255, 360).
