I believe all the GM plants were on strike. It really pushed back production of the 67 Camaros. That is why you find a lot them with motors that are months earlier than the build date of the car.

I remember, I was 21 at the time and a car nut! I can't remember what happened an hour ago, but I can tell just about everything about these old cars and events of the time!

I'm pretty sure it was the body plants on strike and any other plants associated with the UAW unions. The company people may have done some work, but basically all work came to a halt. Engine building plants such as foundries and forge shops were mostly not affected and kept producing the engines, trannys, and rear ends.
