Do I have the only one left?

    Actually, I am trying to figure out how rare of a car the 67 GS Convertible I have that is Burgundy Mist in color.

    Ok let us assume that 68 and 67 color production numbers are close.

    Therefore, the first two most popular colors cover 27% of total convertible production.

    Or 577 67 GS Convertibles were red or white.

    If the remaining colors are produced equally then that would give the remaining 13 color 4.8% production.

    So there were 102 of each of the remaining 13 colors.

    Now there were 1628 Turbo 400 cars or 76%, which leaves 77 Cars.

    Now mine has a power bench seat a rare option. But I would assume all bench seat production was no more than 33% of the GS cars produced. So we are down to 26 cars if all cars had a white interior.

    Now I am really guessing here but I read an article recently about the survivability of the muscle cars produced in the 60s and they put the non-ultra rare cars (Shelby Mustangs, Hemi Cudas) at around 30%.

    So that gets us down to 7.5 cars that may still exist today.


    That is really a stretch and a ton of assuming but I would bet there are under 10 Burgundy Mist 67 GS convertibles out there with a white bench seat interior and with a power bench setup maybe I have the only one.

    Any comments?

    I think you're obsessing on this. Drive your car and enjoy it! :3gears:

    Just curious about the past

    I really like looking into the past when America was on top of the world.

    I would love to have seen all those GS's produced in 67 still alive and well.

    I guess I see a car as a friend.


    I intend to get my piece of the past fixed up and running again.

    Thanks
