Your date is pre 1970, so you should be able to take advantage of the negative number to represent dates before that.

var str = '\/06\/12\/1967',

    date = new Date(str);

str = '/Date(' + +date + ')/';

jsFiddle.

If you need it in seconds as opposed to milliseconds, divide by 1000.

If your date is in the European format (the current date is ambiguous, it could be in either)...

var str = '\/06\/12\/1967',

    tokens = str.split('/');

str = [tokens[2], tokens[1], tokens[3]].join('/')

var date = new Date(str);

str = '/Date(' + +date + ')/';

jsFiddle.
