Title: 67-68 AC air box differences
Post by: ruppstang on September 10, 2014, 11:05:27 PM

Does any one know when the change over in 67 AC air boxes occurred? The early box half's joint directly to the bottom corner witch I am sure had leak problems. At some point it was redesigned to end higher making a more water tight pan. There is also a difference on the grill the latter version in much better made. I think I have see the latter design on some 67s but I do not know when they were built.

Ink stamp date codes may provide some estimate?

Checked my pictures of San Jose Mustangs and Shelby's and didn't find any with the style like shown in your #2 picture. Last one I have with the #1 style was built (real build date) of June 2nd

With a late date like that it may have been a 67-68 difference. More data needed.
Thanks for the reply.
