I don't believe so. The GT850 and then Monte Carlo engines, and the Sonett 2, all use injected engines. I think mixers might have been gone from the line entirely in 1967, but I'd have to check. Actually, if you can read the fuzzy text on the page after the tank photo, it'll probably give you a range of chassis numbers. Dave Hinz
