Are these the right/correct Hemi emblems on the front fenders of this 67 GTX? I always thought the correct emblems had 426 over the word HEMI. So what is the correct emblem supposed to look like. I`m curious as I`ve decided to install my 426 Hemi into my 67 GTX and want to install the correct style emblems on my fenders. Also, would anyone have the correct measurements for the placement of those emblems?

They are correct, perhaps some early ones had the 426 ones. My boss had a unrestored all original 67 with the same emblems. This was 88 or so.

Thanks Jeff. I`ve seen them both ways and that`s been on original cars. Can anyone with a 1967 Parts book look to see if there were two different part numbers available for those emblems?

The '426 Hemi' emblems were used in the first part of the production run. I don't know when they changed or if it was assembly plant specific. The SPD on my St. Louis '67 is January 12 and it has the later 'Hemi' emblem.

Correct, some early cars had the 1966 style "426 Hemi" emblems, and it wasn't a first half/second half deal, it was only EARLY cars, although no specific cutoff date is known. I've owned 2 originals, SPD on one was November 12, 1966, and one was October 02, 1966, both had "HEMI" fender emblems and both were St. Louis cars.

I agree, the 426 Hemi emblem was only used on very early production '67's. Most had the HEMI tag on the fender. My GTX was built 09-13-66, so it has the 426 hemi tags.

Also, note that the position of the badges is different on the left side of the car vs. the right side, apparently to to create a balanced look with the pentastar vs. no pentastar.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I`m going to get a picture of my fender tag and maybe you guys can help me decide which emblem would be correct for my spd.

October 9th 1966 COULD go either way, personally I like the block style emblems better and they were PROBABLY what came on it as well.
