Hi Steve,

There is a 367 legacy series driver 
(kmod-nvidia-367xx-367.57-4.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm) in the testing 
repository but unfortunately it is a non starter on el7.4 upwards as 
el7.4 updated to Xorg 1.19.3 but the 367 series driver only supports 
Xorg 1.18.

So I will be removing that 367xx legacy driver from the repository.

I think that is NVIDIA's way of telling us it's time to update those 
devices if you want to stay current.

Sorry,

Phil
