Someone changed the dash or put factory AC in a non factory AC car

Highly unlikely they would let a mistake like that get out of the factory.
But like they say never say never.

Steve:

I do not believe that this is a factory mistake. I have never seen this before on an original car......early or late production should make no difference. The 1966 and 1967 factory AC dashes are essentially the same, so this would eliminate a year-year changeover issue.

I don't know what the right answer is, but there are many possibilities. You just need to carefully check the remainder of the car, all AC system components, and AC special construction features to try and arrive at the answer to your question.

Steve,

post some close up pictures of the dash end tabs and how they are riveted to the body. Might give a clue as to what is going on.

Possibly some good news and bad news. The car is listed in the C2 registry as a Canadian export car, so there is documentation available. The bad news is that it's listed as a 390 hp without air. Good luck.

Is the window sticker real? I smell a rat.

Re: 1967 Vette 427 400 Hp With Factory

much more likely someone added air to a non air car. Especially if someone already put it in the registry as a non air car. Adding a tri power is easy enough. Post a copy of the window sticker. There are some telltale signs many can comment on.

Hi, Steve, and welcome to the technical discussion board! I see you're fairly new.

Sounds like a great car no matter how this odd dash issue turns out.
Do you have the tank sticker......?

Adding a tri power is easy enough.

Agreed.........but the engine build stamp is different between the two engine configurations.

390 HP suffix would be IL (4-spd) or IQ (auto)
400 HP suffix would be JC (4-spd) or JD (auto)

Steve,
Pics of the dash rivets and The engine pad as well as the tri power set up will assist the members here with what you have.

What is the status of the car - restored, driver, resto mod?

Did the previous owner drop the gas tank - take off the tank sticker? Any mentions of that? Those can be "produced too".

Have you purchased the NCRS shipping report? That will confirm the read original dealer and if a Canadian car, I understand all the OE details are available.

For better or worse...its still a great car.

Re: 1967 Vette 427 400 Hp With Factory

From the C2 registry it shows TI, can a 390 car get TI???


The other ting to note is that it is produced 9-15-66... and yet it was imported to Canada Feb 67?

That would suggest the original dealer was not Canada, seems a real long time to cross the border.

Ron,

I believe that TI was available with all engines, mandatory with some.
