I don't know how concerned with authenticity you are but FYI 68 door skins are attached different then 67.Best of luck with your search.

The doors in the ad appear to be 1968 doors.

Mr Gaines is correct, it is different  from the 1967 version.

Just a question to help understand, how are they different?  What do you look for to tell 1967 from 1968?

The profile pattern of the metal skin when it is crimped around the edge of the inner structure is one way. it was more likely a later  production variation I am guessing.

The inner cutouts, behind the door panel are also different. 1968 deluxe doors have additional openings for lights.

Anyone have a picture of the " crimp " you are talking about. I am trying to be as authentic as I can afford. Have a friend with a good set of doors but I don't know the difference.

Thanks

1968 Deluxe door - note cut out shape extends forward more. Positions of varios mounting holes and other openings differ slightly.

Interchangeable does not mean the same
