Original 1967 A/C condenser?

[Joe R.]

I'd like some help learning to identify an original 67 small block A/C condenser.

The one in the attached photo was on my 67 and I suspect it is original. I know that 67 condensers had "straight-cut" fins at the top and this one has that characteristic.

However, I am looking at what is described as a correct reproduction unit and the side brackets are shaped differently than mine in the areas circled in the photos. On the reproduction unit the brackets are square cut, while on mine they have various contours.

Anybody know what style braclet is correct?

Joe,

I have not the faintest idea which is correct , but mine are original and square on my late {May} 66. I looked up my photo log and I have two pictures. If you would like to see them , Send me your Email address and I will pass them along.

Here is the first of two photos that Jim sent of his 66 condenser. The brackets look a lot different from one 67 repro I have seen. Any comments from owners of original 67 condensers? Does the 67 look like this?

Joe, I'll get some pictures of mine this weekend, I believe it to be original.
