They didn't run the R0/W0 cars at the Winters, because they weren't built yet!!! The NHRA Winternationals were 2/5/1967. This is why the Belvedere ran in C at the Winternationals, and B the rest of 1967, AFTER they received the parts to convert it to R0 trim. Does it not click in your mind that NO ONE else was running an "R0" car at the Winternationals?

The dealer pricing info was sent out on 2/10. The sequence numbers were assigned on 2/12. There is generally a one month difference between the scheduled and actual build date. The earliest ship date for a '67 R0 Plymouth that I have documented is 3/23. The earliest '67 W0 Dodge date I have seen is 3/27. This is info coming right from Chrysler IBM build cards. I've been researching '67 R0/W0 cars for quite a while now.

If you go back to my comment, where you're trying to disprove me, I stated Sox & Martin only had two '67 HEMI cars. I know there was a third car. It was a 440 GTX, with white interior. We've been through this numerous times, in different places, but you can't keep or get your facts straight.
