It was as it is in the photo, a 1967 Belvedere I sedan (post-car), Street-Hemi, 4-speed.
The R/O Belvedere II (hardtop) cars didn't get built until February.
Though the car was not an R/O, it was a pretty much a 'delete everything' car.
The car came through with a flat-hood, and at first was in A/Stock, then into SS/B with a flat-hood (non-R/O hood).
Eventually a correct R/O hood scoop was added.
It was somewhat of a Mopar Test Car (pre-cursor for the R/O program).
It was factory-backed, so technically it was the only non-hardtop 1967 Hemi in partial R/O trim.

Paul,
Sounds plausible; thanks for explaining. Chrysler, I think, should've offered the RO & WO23 package in both hardtop and sedans.
"Sox & Martin ran in SS/B with a 67' GTX (Street Hemi) non R/O car with a flat hood."
Hmmm....I'll have to dig through my vintage magazine collection 'cause I don't recall
ever seeing a pic of Ronnie's '67 car with a non-performance hood on it!

P.S. Yeah, "Pappy Fry"...that's one name you can't forget!
