This record's own dek states that the Sprint six grows to 215 hp for 1967 and the 326 HO continues as an option, with 109,413 LeMans built. This record's own overview states that a compiled table lists 1967 LeMans production as 8,424 four-door hardtops, 10,693 sport coupes, 75,965 hardtops, 9,820 convertibles, and 4,511 Safari wagons, 109,413 in all, and that the fact sheet rates the OHC 230 Sprint at 215 hp and the 326 HO at 285 hp, both SAE gross.1

This record's own overview states that the Sprint package, listed at $127, includes the four-barrel OHC six, a floor-shifted three-speed, a heavy-duty stabilizer and handling package, sport shocks, emblems, and Sprint stripes. This record's own production notes state that the five body rows partition the 109,413 total and that no Sprint or 326 HO installation counts were found for the year, leaving those two performance options undocumented at the production level.2

This record's own engines section documents four powertrains: the standard OHC 230 six at 165 hp, the Sprint version at 215 hp with a four-barrel, the 326 two-barrel V8 at 250 hp, and the 326 HO four-barrel at 285 hp. This record's own transmissions section documents a standard three-speed manual, available with a $42 floor shift or an $84 fully synchronized version, and an optional two-speed automatic at $195 with the 326 V8 or $226 with the base six.2

This record's own prices section documents the LeMans sport coupe at $2,586, hardtop at $2,648, and convertible at $2,881, alongside a Car and Driver LeMans Sprint test car's $4,049.50 as-tested total, itself MSRP plus federal excise tax, dealer preparation, and delivery, excluding state and local taxes, license, and freight. This record's own options section documents that same test car's individually priced equipment down to the cent, from a $105.60 Sprint engine and $184.31 four-speed manual to a $3.74 Ride and Handling package, its own note stating these figures complement the rounded Over-Drive list and are not install counts.3

This record's own options section also documents the broader mid-size line list: the Sprint package at $127, Rally II wheels from $56, a stereo tape player at $128, and front disc brakes among many further items, none carrying an installation count. Seventeen exterior colors are documented for the year without production counts, from Starlight Black to Mayfair Maize, none of the seventeen carrying a production figure in this record.2

This record's own specifications section documents a 115-inch wheelbase for LeMans except the 113-inch Safari, a 206.6-inch overall length for passenger cars, a 74.7-inch width for LeMans and GTO, a 55.0-inch height, and the Sprint package's own content spelled out in full. This record's own performance section documents that Car and Driver test: 0-60 mph in 8.8 seconds across a range of 8.8 to 9.3 seconds, a 16.7-second quarter mile at 80 mph, an observed 97 mph top speed, 252 feet of 80-0 mph braking at 0.85 g, and 21 to 24 mpg on premium fuel during an extended European road trip.3
