Some of the panels appear different color, like the trunk. And 375's were not available with automatic transmission in '67.

.....Again the quality is there, the paint was done well as was the build. Here though you will find that this car was originally a 327 CID car. - See more at:

At least that was up front about being a 327. But it does show an 4N L35 engine code on the TT so that was obviously changed (the rivets give it away?
)
I see the VIN does fall into the June 67 range to match the 06D TT date so I wonder if VIN and TT were swapped onto this body which should make it an illegal car (?) due to a VIN swap -or- a period correct TT was put on to an existing body with this VIN. I'd be curious what the hidden VIN shows. The VIN star rivet still has a stud showing flush which I have never seen before but that's not to say it can't exist. The trunk floor looks replaced being I don't see any welded spare tire hook bracket. But hey......it does have the infamous fan sticker! Interesting enough it has an axle traction bar.
I'd say this was a tribute/clone and nothing more.

Bodywork is crude. Decent daily driver and not worth near the asking price. Being it is a dealer, someone will buy it thinking it is a great car for the money. Most dealers do not know what is correct anyway.

In PA. turning back the speedo is illegal too, even on old cars.
