Bjorn,
I already took off the door panel but at a lost on how to work the latch 
assembly.? Is there a slot/opening of some kind that I can stick my screw 
driver into and open it?? 

Tu.

and to get the door open , I think you can take off the door panel, then
get to the mechanism to open it

Subject: 67 door latch

I had that problem two years ago...found a little rubber plug someone
had added to the pin from the outer door handle to push in the operating
piece...put it back on...worked for a year,. then last year the same
thing happened, now that piece was missing ,and as I hadn't learned
about this part yet...I thought I needed that rubber piece...nope,
someone had added it so the 'pin' would reach...so now I thought I had a
wrong handle, the pin wouldn't reach...so I located a used 69 door
handle...
same length...
I finally figured out that the part the pin pushes in had over the years
bent in....I bent it back out about 1/8" and its working fine....

so, if you open it up and don't find a broken spring as Bo eludes to,
that's probably what has happened..

Rickpaw,

Unscrew the door latch from the door.  You have a broken release spring.
