Yes, it’s not even close. There were several changes that occurred early in the production run and the center mounted lights were one of them. They were moved out due to cooling issues, especially on the big block GT-500. Some of the early changes were so soon I’d say a lot on here may not have even seen them before.

I could whip my registry out and get further info but with this car being so late then it’s easy to spot. This is probably the number one thing changed when these cars are restored, outside of the Le Mans stripes being added. VERY few came with the stripes in 67 from the airport.

Anyone else notice the 4 GALLONS of gas on the invoice for $1.20 TOTAL...
I took delivery of a 1968 Honda 350 in the spring of that year. When I left, it was running on reserve tank and there was a gas station right across the street. I put almost 3 gallons in and it about 75 cents.

I did! And see that gas is a little more than twice as expensive now, all things considered, which after 55 years isn’t that crazy…

A 1967 $1 is worth about $8.66 in 2022. So, that means $1.20 then is $10.39 now adjusted for inflation for 4 gallons which is $2.59 a gallon and that’s a little less than half a gallon of 87 around here today. When you consider they likely put in high test it skews it a bit more. Anyway… I’d like to see gas for $2.59 again, which wasn’t that long ago. Hah.
