It was my understanding the majority of '67's got the version posted if any got the full/solid ('68?) version it was very late, others will know more...

I have not found any of the solid version on 67 Shelby's. I am confident that when the change occurred it was at the earliest late 67 production after 67 Shelby production had ceased. I can not remember finding any of the solid style on the unmolested type 67 cars i have come across over the years. Maybe others have.
