The taillights here glint of chrome on the top, which would suggest a '69: 1967: 1969: Also, if I'm not mistaken, a '67 would have individual "P L Y M O U T H" lettering on the trunk, not seen in the film: Additionally, the only color nearing that shown in the film available in 1967 was Gold (Code Z). The Honey Bronze (T3) color is much closer to what is seen in the film, and is also a one-year only color. Case in point, my own '69 Valiant in Honey Bronze, which is more or less a double of the car seen above: -Kurt -- Last edit: 2016-07-23 02:52:15
