I thought his 63 was a stick car. By the looks of Paul's picture, sure looks like his left hand is ready to punch 2nd

This was 'not' the {WO23 Hemi} Coronet Model 440 or a 'true' Coronet R/T.

Charlie A,

Good Eyes

This car was a 1967 Coronet 'Model 440' with a 426 Street Hemi.

As per Dodge {for marketing purposes} the Coronet 'Model 440' was lettered
with the 'R/T' logo on the front of the rear quarter-panels.

Check out the 'flat' Hood {non R/T style}.

As noted, this Coronet had suffered a damaged right front fender and twisted
bumper in January 1967, just before the NHRA Winternationals.
