Early 67 subframe?
« on: March 24, 2018, 12:58:40 PM »
Saw this frame for sale. Think it's an early 67 due to the lack of the large holes up front? Not mine, BTW.

Yep.  I wonder if he pulled it from a 68 and thus lists it as such.  Not sure but I think that diamond shape hole on the outside of the horns is also unique to those, as they had a J-nut there for the rear bumper bracket bolt.

Wow. $650. Maybe if it was close to restored...

Has power steering and disc brakes. It’s not cheap but in the ballpark. Most guys start higher than what they will actually accept. Everybody wants to pay less than asking price and will try to get things for less.

Has '69 style brake calipers and not 4 piston as used on '67 thru '68.

$650 isn't horrible on price but it isnt a deal either.  Try to find one if you have an early car.  67 frames in general are hard to find.  I looked for 6 months before finding one for a guy.

If you are looking for a 100 percent correct show quality subframe, not for you.

For someone that wants a subframe to put under a car to be functional and have disc brakes, well there you go.
