thats what I thought too but i ran it on the trim tag analyzer on the 68 page and it came up with april first week. I looked at my #'s matching convert and it said 12D and my motor was cast L207 which would be dec 20th 1967.

a couple guys on performance years set it straight. the engine was built and sat on a shelf and when someone ordered it it went in. the gap is to be expected
