Pretty cool!

Does anyone know the guy that posted some of the stats? I've never seen any documentation before, showing the break-down of how many 343's went into each model of American in '67... neat stuff, if it can be verified.

What about the base 220 models?  If the 343 was available in all 2 doors there would have to be a few of these out there.  I know of 2 67  Americans that I'm fairly sure are both 220's with the 343.  Unfortunately I don't own either one.  Anybody else ever seen one?

The magazine article that says 343 CUBES  says it was an option in 7 different americans.  It was not put into the wagons .

Some of the info posted was incorrect. The Vin had an X code for the motor and not a Z. The 7 343 Rogue converts has never been documented. Larry Mitchell listed this figure in one od his books IIRC.

The valve cover tag is were the Z code was, all 343s were a Z 67 through 69 . In 67 there 7 different VIN codes for the 343 , two for the ambo 2 & 4bbl, 2 for the rebel 2 & 4bbl , 2 for the marlin 2 & 4bbl and 1 for the american.

Again, anyone here know who this guy is... either he has some really valuable (never before seen) documentation, or has compiled a TON of hear-say from all of his internet searches!!! Wink

I worked for a Schenectady, NY MAC dealer from late 67-69 and they ordered some neat cars. There was a guy who ordered a turquoise 343 4 speed 67 220 stripper with the cloth bench seat and rubber floor mat interior. It was in for service constantly for broken motor mounts especially the trans mount. Eventually they wrapped a chain around the tail housing and crossmember and told him not to come back! 

The parts guy ordered a new Bealstreet(?) Blue 69 440 Wagon 290 4 speed. Another sweet car...

They also had a couple of green 343-390 4 speed Ambassador wagons that went overseas to the military overseas.
