The provision for smog under what we call SB-100 (500 slots a year, this years slots were gone in 45 days) allows you to use either the model of the car a a reference i.e. a 1966 Cobra replica is required to have 1966 Cobra smog devices (none) or use the year the engine was constructed if the automobile is something other than a known model. The default year (if the engine year is not able to be determined) is 1960.

In either case you are fine. It was the law (and still is) that you would go to a referee if the engine and chassis are different. In that case an engines year or construction is most often used. Again either way a 67 is fine with no smog other than a PCV valve and an open breather.

Most referees are pretty good. The guy I got must have been in the garage too long with my car running. My referee label says my Cobra has a 1960 7 litre (427) Ferrari engine in it. Who am I to say it isn't.
