Hi David, if it's a 67 400 4 speed, it will have dual traction bars from the factory. (Pontiac used them, Chevy did not, and had lots of problems) So you would have no problem there. I've had 2 67's and a 68, and I like the 67's better I think?
I love the upper door panel being painted, vent windows go a LONG way in hot weather, the consoles are much more unique, usually the center dash is a 67 only if it's the wood grain... and the list goes on.
I'd jump on it! And Bjorn has a group of Bird guy's down near him in Houston, and there are quite a few all over TX. Hope you become another one soon!
