Looking for history on a '67 R023 car
 
It was suggested to me that this forum might be helpful in finding some history on my 1967 R023 Super Stock. I bought the car in the Richmond VA area about 15 years ago. I tracked down the IBM card from Chrysler Historical and it shows the original dealership in PA. The car is a 4 speed car, has many layers of paint on it, mostly Red, White and Blue, it was raced hard, it has a roll cage in it and was tubbed. I have sanded through some of the paint looking for some lettering and found some stripes. I only did that one day about 13 years ago and haven't done any more sanding being concerned that I might go too fast or right over and through some lettering. Being that it is a 4 speed car, has lots of Red, White and Blue and came out of the Richmond VA area can anybody help me with some answers?
Thanks!!!

Eric,
Do you know what dealership it was ordered from - the location might help with the ID
Thanks,

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...
