In some places the cars sold very slowly. Back then, they were delivered with
the end year blank. The dealer could stamp the year, or so I have heard. So,
if your car was from some out of the way place where they did not like
Japanese cars, and it sat on the lot, it is very possible that you have a 66.
The cast iron head is futher proof.
The 67 1600 aluminum head is rare becasue its aluminum but does not yet have
the smog fittings.
I recently sold a good (only .006 away from new) one of these for $300.
I have a 65 parts car out in the driveway....seems to me its number is higher
than yours, I will go check.
My driver is also an early 67, I will get the number from that as well.
Best Regards,
Jim
