Neither the Paxton Supercharger nor the 427 engine were options on the 1968 Shelby GT Mustangs

Dual exhaust (and chrome exhaust tips) were never available on the 1969 Dart GT. Both the optional 273 and 318 V8s were 2 BBL single exhaust options.

What they did was take a stripe delete GTS and switched out the emblem on the trunk:

Find the promo for the '67 Camaro SS with the 327 emblems on the fenders. It's possible GM hadn't planned to introduce the new 350 when those pics were taken, but that one promo pic has led MANY people to believe a 327 was available as an SS since then...

Initially the Upper/Lower pinstripes came standard on the 1967 Coronet R/T. The Lower were cancelled shortly after production started due to the slow down they created.

The Hemi engine was NOT available in the base or Special Edition Charger yet Dodge built this one for PR. It's restoration was shown on a popular car oriented TV show whose name escapes me. One of you guys probably remembers it.

I always liked this ad. The ad company working for Dodge saw the future - just not for it's client.

Are you referring to this photo? It's a 1968.

You can clearly see it's not an SS: no hood treatment. But the verbage below the photo says it is.

That's not an R/T grille.

If I remember, it was a Red '67 badged as an SS but with 327 emblems on the fender. Been quite a few years since I ran across it.

Ford knew that not all their PR photos would be shown in color so they outfitted many of their cars with colors that would look good in B & W.
Interesting placement of the stripe behind the rear wheel. Much lower than production version
