[SCG] original 67

[Larry Claypool]

i am finished with this car. an oddity i found while under it is it did not have a clamp holding the shift cable to the floor in front of the trans near the parking brake cable; no evidence it was ever there. the hole in the floor for the screw was there, but covered with factory applied sealer.
its like somebody read the code wrong and prepped it as a manual trans car.

  to all who aksed questions-
  the car is a 10-B build date. kent, i sent you pics of the lower sterring column area. it has the star shaped plastic sleeve and a bolt trough clamp.
  bob helt, it does not have A.I.R.
  mark, it does have a bow tie mirror and  pebble finish edges on the f&r floor mats. i sent a pic to you of the exhaust details. it does have the odd manifold nuts which i have seen on many original cars.
  i did not wish to remove the door edge gaurds to check for clips; i have sent you several pics of the gaurds for your own conclusions.  i also sent a pic of the rear speaker shelf.
  that covers all questions recieved to date
   regards
  lc

    Very cool!

    I'd like to know what the part of the steering column just below the "firewall" looks like around the lower bearing. Is there a spring pressing against the bearing cap from the bottom side? Is a clamp and through bolt (with nut) holding the spring in place from below or is there a star-shaped plastic sleeve--or something else?

    Thanks.
    Larry,

    I have the exhaust off my '67 Texas 4door, and it is interesting.
    Notably the way the crossover is made and integrated into at the "Y". No
    aftermarket replacement is done like the factory did it. Also, the nuts
    holding the crossover to the manifolds are self-locking nuts. The hex
    only goes halfway down the length of the nut. Found the same on 5999. Am
    thinking of bringing the system to the SCG event this year for
    show-and-tell, even if it is bulky. Maybe you could get some pics of
    these features to verify?

    Would also like to know whether the door edge guards have clips or not.
    And whether the front and/or rear mats have smooth edges or "pebble
    grain" edges. And what about a bowtie mirror? How late is this car?

    Also, I'd like verification that the rear seat speaker has a foundation
    riser and speaker grill/screws like the '69's. I believe this is true on
    all '66-later cars. I've had several '66-7 cars in the past with this
    option, but it was before I really started studying this feature.

    Thanks much! What a great find!
