67 front 300HP A/C shocks

[James H.]

I have the 250,000 mile 67 coupe with original springs, sagging front end and need info on front shocks that will help with a little lift. I have stopped judging the car (National Flight) and want to help the driving and lift on the front end. Please some info on what shock available to help? Thank you

The sagging front end isn't being caused by bad shock absorbers...your original springs are just tired. Eaton Spring can hook you up with the correct front spring. Shock absorbers simply absorb shock/rebound.

Agreed. The shocks only limit spring bounce and don't add weight support. You can completely remove shocks and it won't affect the stance of the car.
I will also add that your rear spring has lost tension over time as well and if you replace the fronts, the car will likely sit front-high and unbalanced, so budget in re-arching or a new rear spring.

Can you buy new springs that look like the original 13 coil (?) front springs. The front end has never been removed or replaced

James,
I don't have the answer to your question...It's quite possible someone manufactures a spring the "looks like the original", question is how does it function? What's the ride height?
To quote from the link I posted above from Eaton..."Our front coil springs do not match the look of the original springs in free height (out of the car) or the number of coils. But they act, feel and sit the car the same."
