Whats a 67 Coupe 428 w 4 speed worth?

Its in the paper, says driveable, but not much else. They want $4800 for it.

Could be all over the place - if that's a 428 CJ the engine could be worth that for someone wanting to put it back in it's original car...or if the guy is wrong and it's a '68 it could be worth a lot more.

If it's just your basic FE drop in to a 67 coupe, the price is probably about right depending on the condition of each.

Prolly want to take someone that can decode the data plate and engine codes along with you if you go look.

Sounded like fun on wheels to me.

Just want to make sure its good deal before I buy, I wouldn`t know a 428 if I saw it, what code would the vin be if it was?

There was no 428 in any 1967 coupe... unless of course it's a Shelby ;-)

The first time the 428 was available was in the 1968 model year... and I believe that the three "big-block" codes you are looking for are:

R code - 428 C/J
Q code - 428 police interceptor
W code - 427

There weren`t any Shelby coupes were there?

I thought they were fastbacks.?

Maybe it's a 68. My car is titled as a 66 but has the correct VIN for 67.

There were some Shelby coupes made, but I don't have knowledge about them or any info handy unfortunately.

After a little digging, here's what I came up with:

There were 2 official Shelby coupes made, one in '67 and one in '68. The '67 was called "Lil' Red" and ended up getting cruished notnice and the '68 was "Lil' Green Hornet" or something. That coupe is still alive and kickin'.

and it may be a 390 or a 352. Funny how every FE is a 427 or a 428 CJ.

The easiest way to ID a 428 is look at the flywheel or flexplate. There will be a counterweight on it. Only drawback is the 410's also have the counterweight too. (390 block/428 crank = 410) CJ heads are easy to id using the casting numbers between the center spark plugs. The engine code in the VIN will be useless, as already been pointed out, no 428's in 67 Stangs. Could be a 390 car though, 5th digit will be a "S". 68's also had a 390 2 bbl option, don't recall the letter code though.
