1967 I believe.

For some reason, I thought that the U67 was released in 1967, and that the U87 was the first mic that broke the U"the year it was released" naming convention that Neumann was using. I could be remembering that wrong, though.

Not really, cominginsecond. Read the Neumann.PDF The U67 came in 1960.
