I believe so....'68 started plastic backs but I believe I read (here) that some late 67's had plastic as well. You might try a search.

67 birds were plastic however

My 67' had plastic backs too and I'm pretty sure they were original. My car has pretty low miles and hadn't been modified.

I have never seen a confirmed original 67 that had plastic backs. Mine was last week in February with the Original Backs. I know 2 original owners of their car, that both had metal backs. I'll have to look up their dates. I personally do not think their were ANY 67's with plastic backs. It would be like saying in 67 you could get gas pedals all plastic.

From the CRG (camaros.org) research topics section about mid-year changes in '67;

"Metal vs. plastic seat backs: Transition appears to occur during mid-April or possibly first week of May."

My 04A Camaro has/had metal, my buddies 06C '67 Firebird has/had plastic.

Here's is another site with a thread that has some additional info:

My O7A car has plastic backs, I know they are original. I'm the second owner and the first owner was a school teacher and I don't think she had a screwdriver.
