I seem to recall that the McCormack car is a '67 that was re-trimmed as a '66. As for Vanke's car...No scoop...

Never saw any of Arlens cars that didn't have his name plastered on them. Are you just trying to show what a stock 66 Belvedere I looked like??

No, that is Arlen's '66 Hemi Belvedere I. The team car to the '66 Hemi Belvedere was a '63 Max Wedge Plymouth Wagon that Arlen built for Bill Abraham, it was painted and lettered very similar to the Belvedere.

Off topic but here's an old jem that I thought would interest the Mopar guys.

Would the scoop on those 2 cars have been the 65 scoop or the scoop used on the 67s?

The curve at the rear edge of the hood is different, scoops won't interchange too well.
