1967 Options release dates?
I have a trivia question that "By The Numbers" did not answer for me, and I haven't seen the answers elsewhere. (honestly, I haven't looked super hard)
What dates did the 1967 options become available? Were they available for the whole production year? I think I read somewhere that they weren't.
For instance, there were 27,209 1967 XR7 hardtop with bucket seats of the ~150k total production, but when was XR7 available as an option?
I have the same question for GT, and DGS.

Very good questions! I can find the date for the XR-7 but the others are not known to me.

Thanks, can't wait to figure this one out.xr7g428 wrote:Very good questions! I can find the date for the XR-7 but the others are not known to me.
I need to save up for a premium Marti report, but that wouldn't answer this.

The XR-7 went on sale January 1 1967. The first known GT was sequential number 41, very very early production.

Re: 1967 Options release dates?
Well, Cougars were introduced on September 30th, 1966, so most of the options were available at that date. There were some minor mid-year additions along with the introduction of the XR-7.

Re: 1967 Options release dates?
Does anyone know when the Dan Gurney Special option was first available in 1967? I read something that said April 1967 but I can't seem to find that information now.
Thanks!
Thanks!
