I think Paul, based on his post from 05:05AM this morning, is finding the same thing the rest of us have found. There are a lot of websites quoting production figures that either:

1) Can be proven to be inaccurate (as I've illustrated, by posting pictures of a varifiable 220 X-code car, yet the documentation indicates that none were built.
2) Totally contradict each other with how many were built (how do we determine which is correct, without ACTUAL production figures with dates, counts, and VIN-ranges?).
3) Or are blantant "cut-and-pastes" from other (unverifiable) websites.

Over on "theAMCforum", we have (probably) 100 guys that spent several decades either working on the assembly-line in Kenosha or at AMC dealerships throughout the 60's and 70's. There are at least 40 guys that between them (total) own several 100 1967 Americans... several of which are the original owners. There are a handfull of members that even have actual AMC blueprints and schematics from the engine plant. And, one of the members is generally acknowledged as the official AMC historian (Tom Benvie, who has posted here with regards to his research on SS/AMX's).

None of us have ever located the official AMC documentation regarding the 1967 (East Kenosha assembly-line) production figures...

But we're always hopeful that they will (someday) turn up.
