Code M7N is indeed White leather with black fabric inserts for a '67 Crown Coupe, so your tag seems correct, as least for the upholstery. M7N was available with all paint colors except JJ1 Sepia metallic, and always with a black vinyl roof canopy, and always with black paint stripes (exception: white stripes with BB1 Formal Black paint). The same interior on a Crown 4-door hardtop is M8N, and on the base Sedan, you could get white vinyl with black fabric inserts as code M1N. Dual exhaust was not officially available in 1967, but your car might be late production, in which case it's anyone's guess (a number of allegedly 1968-only features crept into production during MY1967). I believe it was paired with the high-performance engine option in 1968, though, meaning it would show up in the VIN. The standard (and officially only) original 1967 exhaust used a single muffler under the passenger compartment plus a cylindrical resonator to the right of the fuel tank, adjacent to the leaf spring. Any muffler shop of merit should be able to locate a proper fitment for the resonator (even Midas). The tailpipe will have to be custom-bent (again, any decent muffler shop...) and should arch up from the resonator and then back down behind the rear bumper, then be cut off at an angle so that the tailpipe is not visible unless you crouch down and look. That's the correct look for a luxury car, and the sound will befit its soft-spoken power as well. The exhaust hangers should ensure that there is very little side-to-side motion allowable, preventing it from striking the nearby spring or fuel tank during the normal driving of the car over bumps, etc. Chris in LA 67 Crown 78 NYB Salon On 5/1/06 4:43 PM, Michael O.
