Welcome aboard from a fellow 67 owner!
Remember the 67s had 1 year only parts on it and not a lot of repos stuff available...which cause the prices for parts to go through the roof!
If you are looking for a 4 spd console let me know, I think I know where one is..

Thanks Mike! I'm most interested in making my car as original as possible and 2 other FFBO members are sure it came without the console. I like the Hurst shifter sticking out of the floor! You're right, I'll have to just spend the money on the missing trim once I'm certain the original stuff is gone for good.

Found another tail section for you. I emailed the guy and he wants $300 for it. It's decent. Nice find on the gear tag and block numbers!

Thanks Paul! Good find. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy the trim. It's only $ right!?

You are very welcome. Yeah some times you just have to bite the bullet. The tail panel is pretty rare and not repopped so you should consider. There are a few other parts that are hard to find as well, like the grill surrounds, the grill center, and a few others that if you do find and need them make sure you pick them up.

Welcome. Nice coR-neT!
You managed to get one of the coolest but most uncommon cars to collect. And that translates to expensive.
Looks like you got a really nice solid car to start with so you're miles and thou$and$ ahead already.

The only two I've seen lately are on eBay for $650 each, left and right. They look beautiful. The same guy is on here and will refinish yours if they are not that bad. Guy does good work. Don't remember the cost, but you can send him a message on eBay. I am still looking myself for a passenger side that can be refinished.

Man I appreciate it! I am stoked to get it on the road. I had a feeling after seeing so few it would be expensive. Between the low production numbers and the fact that it was designed to perform, I think it was a good investment.

I'm late to the party but welcome aboard, I love all the 66's and 67's. My GTX has the same drivetrain as your car with no console and the Buddy seat. Do you still have the OEM Inland shifter or has it been converted to a Hurst? What are your plans for the car?

Man! That's a great looking interior! The shifter is a hurst, I have not investigated the actual mechanism attached to the transmission. I still have not driven the car as the tires are dry rotted and I'd hate to tear up a fender during a blow out. I just found under the passenger seat, a brand new complete hurst shifter. I assume it will work for this car but we'll see. When I was backing it into the garage, it was very tough to get into reverse and the clutch is howling... It may need the new actuator and clutch... that may be why it was parked...
My plan is to drive and enjoy it. I don't have the resources for a complete restoration but with lower rear quarters and basic mechanical repairs, it should be a thrill to drive. That GTX is a great looking car, it was my first ertl model car when I was a wee lad
Great looking project. It'll be sweet.

Welcome from Vermont! I too have a 67 'Net....Yankee Express. As stated above, there are several parts that are like hens teeth and also many others that you cam swap out from a 66 Coronet or a '66/67' Charger. Nice score, enjoy!

Took the car for the first cruise this weekend. The brakes are scary and the throw out bearing howls. I don't know anything about the engine or how it was built but it has more power than anything I've ever driven... I'm trying to find 245/60/14 tires for it but the cheapest I've found are $160 each.
