If I had to take a guess, I would say that the car I saw was this one. It did have a straight axle and it had a 65 grille in it.

It has the 65 SS only side moldings,and wheel opening moldings.the molding behind the rear wheel looks to be stretched also.The early funny cars had to be at least a 65 model ,so may be they changed a 63 to a 65 with the trim.

And, if only 3 were made for racing......someone explain this obvious '63/64 picture I found over on the H.A.M.B.
