Can't wait to see the pics. Doesn't sound like you will need much advice for working on the car. I am a big fan of 67 Mariner Turquoise GTOs. What color is the interior?

Yes, welcome. As others have said, "It doesn't exist" unless there are pictures.

Not mine. It belonged to my friend Scott. Nice color combo, and it was a clean car to start with.

Best would be to post the PHS/buildsheet and pic of the engine code?
(and dates on engine,etc)

Lots of stuff can happen in 50 years.

Don't let the 335 vs 360 hp motor difference bother you. The car is nice enough as it is.

I've seen it on ebay and on the local craigslist for a while.
I was just telling a buddy of mine about it tonight when I noticed I couldn't find the ads any more.
Saw it last year when I visited the Turkey Rod Run. She looked really sharp!
I know your gonna love it!!!

I'm in the market for a 67 but I'd really prefer an automatic hardtop...
Plus this is the higher end of the market, so a bit out of my current budget.

Somehow my computer don't want to upload the pics I took in Daytona
