67 bug exterior door handles

One year only. Not enough demand to produce them.

Even better...there are 2 different styles used on 67's...early and late.

From early April '66s used 67 style handles. However, the internal locking mechanism is not the same as the 67style handles.

I have an early 67 (Built Aug 24, 1966) and it has round pushbuttons. Are these handles the same as the ones used on the 66 models.

You won't find them new. Try a jankyard or ebay or another used parts source. What is the problem with your's?

Take a look at this link, for rebuilding them:

Fantastic webpage Bill! I have some '65 door handles that need reconditioning. Can you recommend any other webpages for my door handles?

I don't have experience on other door handles. That was a page I built after i fixed the door handles for my '67. The basics about rekeying the lock should be very similar (if not the same) for other year locks too. Anyway, dismantling the handle is easy. You might want to get some replacement used handles first. Then dismante them all and reassemble a handle with the least worn components.

Both styles are round pushbutton: The paddle direction is different.
