Do you have a 67 barracuda 383 7 blade fan picture?
Yes, it's a unicorn! A one year only part for '67 'Cuda and Dart GTS w. 383 engine, 2" pitch, 18" diameter, part number 2863202. The reason I know this is because I took the one you see below off my '68 Coronet (383) a few years ago and went to a clutch fan. At the time I didn't know what it was, figured it was just a garden-variety solid fan. It had been sitting on my shelf for a little bit and knowing I'd probably never use it I decided to bring it to Carlisle and sell it. The blades have small dents where they hit the alternator bolt that had backed out and it had been painted at some point. I had it priced at $60 because it was a nice OE part that you don't find all too often but figured I'd get $25-$30 for it tops.
So here's where the story gets interesting. A good friend of mine is a Mopar parts Rain Man. I'm not kidding, this guy knows EVERYTHING. He used to work as a parts guy at a Dodge dealer in the muscle car days and his brother was a famous magazine writer back then too. For some odd reason he seems to really know cooling fans and can recite part numbers for specific applications off the top of his head, no joke. A little nutty if I say so myself but true nonetheless.
Anyway, his Carlisle vendor spot is directly across from mine. At one point he came over to chat and sees the fan on my table. He says hey, there is something about that fan part number that does not look familiar, I'm going to look it up. He went back to his spot, got out his laptop with all the parts numbers (seriously!) and then came back a little later and said his suspicion was correct - it is in fact a '67-only Dart GTS/Barracuda 383 cooling fan. He showed me the actual page from the factory parts manual he scanned on the computer. He told me I should re-price it at at least $150! I couldn't believe it! No clue how it wound up on my car.
FYI, the more common part number is the one ending in 224 like mentioned above. The reason he noticed the part number in the first place was because whoever had painted it put a piece of tape over the number so it could be made out. He also told me that there was a specific spacer that was supposed to be used with it but the one I had was too tall. If I remember what he said it was supposed to be .7" but don't quote me on that. If you need that exact info I can ask him for you.
Weird how stuff like this happens sometimes like, I just learned about this part two weeks ago by chance then here you are asking about the very same thing. Gotta love the minutiae that goes along with these cars!
