1967Dodge Charger
The fastback's second and last year: turn signals on the fenders, a vinyl roof, the 440 Magnum, and only 15,788 built.
The year in brief
Production fell to 15,788, less than half the short 1966 run.12
Outside, the main change was a pair of turn-signal indicators on top of the front fenders, along with a few new chrome pieces. Later in the model year a vinyl roof became an option.1346
Inside, the full-length console gave way to a shorter one, and a centre cushion could seat three in front. Under the hood, the 440 Magnum arrived with 375 hp, and a 383 two-barrel replaced the 361.13
The story of the year
A spoiler for NASCAR
On the stock-car tracks the fastback body made lift and the cars were hard to handle at speed. Dodge's answer was a small lip spoiler on the trunk lid.13
The spoiler became a dealer-installed option in late 1966, and in 1967 NASCAR's homologation rules made the Charger the first American production car to offer one. Consumer Guide counts 85 street-ready replicas with it.13
David Pearson won the 1966 NASCAR Grand National championship with 15 wins; one of them came in a Charger.13
How to spot a 1967
What tells it apart from a 1966.
A vinyl roof is possible
From later in the model year the roof could be covered in black or white vinyl; the 1966 never had one.13
A shorter console
The console no longer runs the full length of the interior, and it became optional.13
A 440 Magnum under the hood
The 440 Magnum V8 was new for 1967; in 1966 the biggest engines were the 383 and the Hemi.13

Consumer Guide (HowStuffWorks) and Over-Drive's table both give 15,788. Wikipedia gives the same figure, but cites Consumer Guide for it, so it is not a third source.
Engines14578
5 engines. The letter is the engine code in the VIN.
The code is the engine letter in the VIN. Dodge's tables have two 440 codes, K (440) and L (440, high performance); none of our sources says which one the Charger's 440 Magnum carried, so both are given. The 361 of 1966 was dropped.
Price when new12
Base retail prices in 1967 dollars, before options.
From Over-Drive's table. Consumer Guide says the base sticker was $6 higher than in 1966, which by our arithmetic gives the same $3,128.

How many 1967 Chargers had the Hemi
Our ruling: Unresolved: Wikipedia gives 118, but its own split adds to 117, and the figure has no citation. We give no number.
What each source says (1)
- «A total of 118 Chargers were built with the 426 engines in 1967, 58 with a four-speed transmission, and 59 with the automatic.»3one source
Settled
When the Charger R/T began
Our ruling: 1968. Wikipedia's own 1968 section calls the R/T a new package, Hagerty says the 1968 Charger came as base and R/T, and Over-Drive's 1967 R/T is the Coronet R/T. The 1967 sentence most likely means the Coronet.
What each source says (3)
- «The R/T package was also introduced in 1967» (in the 1967 section)3one source
- The R/T was new for 1968910
- 1967's new R/T was the Coronet R/T4one source
