67-69 Cuda notchback

[BVoelzke]

I have been around Mopars for over 40 years but i honestly never saw or knew this. At the track yesterday the guy pitted next to me had a beautiful 68 Cuda notchback , ran good too 9.40s, says he bought it in L.A. and put in his own Indy headed big block. I noticed that the top of the roof above the rear window looked different, like the top of the roof line came out then came back in to the top of the window almost mini spoiler looking. He told me that all notch backs look like that. I didnt think so, his car was heavily modified maybe he built it that way. i kept looking at it all day and really couldn't ever remember seeing one. Today I googled 67-69 Cuda notchback and the ones I saw didn't have a roof line like his. My friend and I had a discussion about it today he sent me a picture of another Cuda with the same roofline. Maybe one year only application? Ok A body/ Early Cuda experts school me on this

Pictures of his would help.
Was it like the Javelin roof spoiler they had?

The back window on a 67 Notchback is a lot different shape and smaller than 68 and 69 windows

68-69 Notchback gasket and SS trim fit a 67.

As Dave said, im leaning towards 67 being "different". There werent 2 different styles of nb in the same year.

All 3 years are the same roof line. It’s the angle at which they are viewed that makes the difference. Here is a ‘69 and you can see it has the same “roof spoiler” look.

A similar angle of view effect happens with a ‘69 Valiant also. Directly from the side looks like a roof spoiler. Rear side view, not so much.

Are you sure that’s a ‘69 Valiant? Looks like a ‘72 with those marker lights.

Yes, I’m sure. The dark blue one was mine. Both are ‘69 models.

I have to disagree. I have the 68 gasket and stainless reveal moldings on my 67 notch with the original 67 glass.

Okay but its still not the same shape as a 68 and 69 and its smaller. unless Chrysler changed the glass late model year. I never seen one

67 the glass bows in and 68,69 close to flat may bow out just a little. When you but them side by side the 67 is around a 1/4 inch smaller all the way around.
