Can you tell by my screen name I should know a 63 when I see it.
First off no split window in the rear glass. 63 was the only year with a split window.
Second the fender well has multi vent slots some call it a 5 slot.
The 66 model fenders had a 3 slot.
Other mid years have insets not slots.
I have owned all of the mid year models over the years and currently have a 67 427 roadster. My favorite.
I am no expert however, it is a1967 body shown no doubts.

Might be a collection of various years & parts in addition the to above:

'65 Rocker panel moldings
Roof 66 or 67 no vents behind door glass
63-66 rear light panel, 67 had backup light over license plate
67 style brake lights, no backup lens
66 gas lid door

Still a very nice car, kinda like my swap meet special '66ish coupe.
