My 67 GTO has a 64 rear in it. Just need pictures how the coils are attached to the rear perches. Thank you.

They have a pigtail and bolt on with plates. It is a different spring end than a '67. I'm not at home right now but when I get there I'm pretty sure I have pics.

I've got the correct hardware if you need it. $20.00 shipped to your door sound fair?

Still not home but I found a pic of the retainer

And a pic of the '64-'66 rear spring with a pigtail only on the bottom

Do your '67 lower pigtails fit over the perches? If so you should be able to use them with the retainer.

Hope this helps.

Chucked the old coils a long time ago. The rear was hack job had tubing for spacers. So starting fresh.

Your spring are still the same for a 64 and 67. The 67 had a cup that is self holding and 64-67 uses the retainer above.

I think I even have a couple of the retainers laying on a shelf that I powder-coated. Not sure. '66 had the retainers in a Poncho A-Body. '67 did not.
