Went to see this car yesterday, has a 340 but was not available in 67. Originally 273 I think. Californian import about 20 years ago, according to the fendertag an early build car 23th august 1966. Only issue is the back panel below rear window. Very solid underneath, no ripped seats, nice headliner, complete car, No diskbrakes though... He is asking 10K euros. So my question is, when did they start building the cars for the next model year? Can it be one of the first 1967 model?

If your looking for something to drive and have fun with, it looks like it could be a great car for that. If your looking at the car as an investment, I'd keep looking.
A couple things bother me a little. The seat back on the driver seat looks to be reclined back a bit more then it should. The odds are pretty good it is not a reclining seat, so I would want to know if the seat frame is broken, or if the floor boards are rotted away at the rear of the seat mounts. The next thing is the power steering pump with no belt on it, I'd want to know why. The pictures make the body side panels look a bit wavy, I would see how well one of those flat refrigerator magnets would stick to the sides. If those magnets don't want to stick well enough to stay in place and want to slide down or fall off, there is probably a lot of body filler present. None could be a deal breaker, but all could be, depending on what you are looking for.
Again, it could be a great fun car for a few years, but maybe not such a great investment. Gene

Those buckets kinda look mid 70s through mid 80s GM

wasn't there a [factory ?] fix for the door striker problem ? or maybe someone shared their fix for that here years ago ? cobwebs again guys, so don't beat on me too hard.......... No factory fix but there was someone selling a reinforcement plate, lost that info years ago as I have plenty of replacement parts laying around...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Back in the day we used Large thick oversize washers (known as fender washers?) to spread the load out over a larger area. never had one crack

I've used them on 2 Barracudas. This is from my '69 Fastback. Found a previous poor repair covered by bondo.
