Back then, it was an issue for some as the dealers had trouble moving the cars...

..for example, at least two late 427S/Cs had their paperwork re-schnookered to show a 1967 model year on the invoice, even though the cars were 1965 vintage and invoiced in 1966.
My friend who owns CSX3322 has an original stamped vin plate vs. the hand scribed ones that are more common. The vin reads 67-CSX3322. I was told that the car was requested with the 67 from the dealer to make it appear as the latest and greatest.
