C2 - '67 Hardtop Authentication vs. '63-'66

[Todd G.]

Other than the Plexiglas window date-coding spelled out in the '67 Judging Guide, what are the other ways to distinguish/authenticate a '67 Hardtop from a '63-'66 Hardtop, if any. And, are there any distinctions between early or late '67 other than the plexiglas date coding?
Thanks,
Todd

I don't know what year is suppose to have which attribute but here are some changes I know about

1. If original paint, can dictate year, ie Satin Silver 1964
2. Interior trim reveal moldings 3 piece or 4 piece
3. Upper and lower plexi window brackets
4. Rubber seal near the windsplint
5. The dreaded notch?
6. The plexi date code
7. The headliner
8 Fiberglass color when stripped.
9. Vinyl covering versus paint.
10 Job number under the headliner.
