According to Chrysler Historical the Region # was 33= Philadelphia and the dealership code was 63211, Springfield, PA, Hillside Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc.
It also said the dealer was terminated 5-29-1969

1) Spring 1967...Hillside Chrysler -Plymouth, Springfield PA- while my 66 barracuda was getting a dealer servicing, strolled into showroom and saw it there- a sparkling white, 67 belvedere track hemi car...new...in the showroom...huge scooped hood, basic black bench seat, rubber floor, trunk mount battery...narrow throwaway tires on 15 inch skinny wheels w dogdish caps...radio delete, of course..but also, heater delete..and a monster hemi up front, fresh from the factory...i almost FAINTED when i sat behind the wheel...realizing what this monster was capable of...i crawled underneath to view the dana, and noticed lack of undercoating..and monstrous springs. Went home completely unable to even speak in normal sentences. (car was sold the next day to area racer.)

Given the location of Hillside C-P, I'd venture to say that car was Joe Riale's "Retaliation." Joe was from Kennett Square, PA, which is about 10 miles west of Springfield, PA.

I'm not sure that's the same car. My R0 still has the original upper body side moldings on it that run from front to back of the car. That picture shows no moldings on his car...

I bet that was my car! He mentions seeing the Dana and mine is a 4 speed car with a Dana! Only aprox 17 4 speeds with a Dana built so odds are that was it! Now that's a little history from the very beginning, hope I can find out more from there on!

Although mine was originally a 4 speed car, it did have an automatic in it a one time.
