Never seen a Hemi tag on a 67 GTX before even though I usually don't look at 67 GTX too often https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/plymouth/gtx/2016668.html#&gid=1&pid=37 Common or not? My memory says I have never seen it on a 67 GTX before. Carsten Last edited by fc7_plumcrazy; 01/19/20 07:17 AM.

Got a chance to speak to the guy who restored it, back in the late 80's, and he still had the factory Hemi Engine fender tag for it. He kept it as a suveneir. There is another 67 Hemi GTX in a neighboring town, survivor, other than an outside repaint, and it doesn't have the tag. Last edited by cdp; 01/19/20 10:32 AM.

Looking at this one, at first I thought it might be an assembly plant thing but my car is an RS23J77 (St Louis) car also. BTW, I can't help noting the "numbers matching" garbage, again.

After paint the tags were pulled off and usually tossed inside the car before the carpeting was installed where most remained. Occasionally they were installed on the inner fender with the other tag like the bronze car linked above but this was not the norm.

As I LOVE the color combination.,,,,,,,but that one is WAY out of my budget. And has been for sale for over a year that I know of .

Still had original carpet and interior. I think it is the owners install them under the hood by the usual fender tag, I don’t think the factory did it that way. In the 80’s Looking at original paint, unrestored, and parted out cars I never saw one underhood, or the extra screw hole to mount it. And IMO it looks REALLY stupid with it mounted under the hood.

The color combo he told me, was similar to this car, but IIRC his had the black hood stripes. I just thought it cool at the time, that he bought a brand new Hemi car, after coming home from the war.
