thebankerstoy Wrote:Hello Jeff,

Are you able to read the 3 digit factory code on line 2 of the fender tag under where it says TRM on line 3 of the fender tag? If those two letters and one number code says P6R, then that cars original interior had the premium Red vinyl covered bucket seats that would have been offered on the GTX, if that code says P6K, then the car came with premium copper vinyl covered bucket seats and if it says P6M, then it came with two tone premium Copper and Black vinyl covered bucket seats. Seeing that dash and kick panels, my bet is that you'll find that code to be P6R. I'd also bet that you would see the factory upper inner door frame paint code of Q, which was used for Dark Red in 1966 and 1967. If it was Medium Copper as the seller says it is, then that door frame paint code would be T for 1967.

Looks like P6K to me. (and 1972+ screws)

Thanks for the enlarged fender tag picture. It does look like the trim code is P6k, which would be premium vinyl covered Copper colored bucket seats and it also looks like the upper interior door frame paint code is T, which would be the medium Copper color.

With that being said, that leads to a few questions for me.
(1) Why did they list the interior color as burgundy in the description information box and then as Medium Copper later on in the ad?
(2) Why the different color on the dashboard (and kick panels)? Could there have been a dash fire and the complete dash assembly was replaced?
(3) Could it be a non original to this car fender tag? If they showed the fender tag, why didn't they show the VIN tag?

By the way, I'm confused, so can someone please tell me what 67 Plymouth B-Body model came from the factory with a model code of "RF" in it's VIN number?

As far as I know, all 1967 GTX's came with model code "RS" and there were no models with a model code of "RF".

I hate being so distrustful and hopefully it is just something as simple as an owner with weird tastes in color combinations, but something just doesn't seem right about this car to me.

The tag clearly shows RS so the "RF" is just a typo.

I'm sorry that you missed my sarcasm on the VIN listing error, but my intent was to highlight another "typo" in this ad. You've also made mention that the fender tag screws do not look to be factory correct for a 1967 model year vehicle, so with that being said, along with the questions regarding the interior, at what point does one start wondering how many other surprises might be waiting for a new owner?

Back in the days when these cars were selling for a lot less money, not many cared about these types of details, but now with much higher prices for more desirable models, everything becomes important, at least it would be to me if it were my $34K being spent.

Now I feel bad. I was going to give a smart ass answer like "It's Big Daddy Roth model" but thought I'd play it straight.

You know, that's pretty funny, because when I saw that "RF" code, I thought of the very same thing. Rofl
