This bracket in the trunk compartment in my ‘67 GTX Hemi. I don’t remember my 440 GTX having it or my ‘67 Belvedere. What is it guys?

looks at one point in time someone had a battery installed there.

A wild guess, anything else nearby. The wire coming back into the trunk on that side I don’t think is normal. Could anyone at some time had a battery there for use at the strip and removed things? Maybe some attachments to put weight on that corner? Can’t recall seeing any 66-67 B bodies with that.

None of my 4 67s have had that bracket. Battery is a good guess.

Added on, it was not born there.

There is also a hole below that on the trunk pan floor. If we had more of a picture there might be a matching hole approximately 12 inches to the rear.
Hope you don’t need a metric conversion! He he!!

The wire in the pic is a rear mounted antenna. It looks factory, I thought it was maybe Hemi specific

A rear antenna was optional on a 67 B body. The bracket pictured looks like it could be part of a rear battery setup. It's definitely not original or part of a RO or WO rear battery package. Maybe some of the drag racers might identify this.

Seeing how it’s bolted in my guess is not factory. Kim

 

[doctordodge]

Likely right. Looking closer the factory wouldn’t have put a bolt into the wheelhouse that way. It was raced with a 440 and bears a bunch of butchery. This was likely part of it. Battery tray?

A 67 Charger that we used to own, had a antennae on the right rear quarter. It was installed by the dealer, when the owner took delivery. It did not have a bracket like that. It was mounted like a front fender antennae, but different bezel. Just maybe if there had been a power antennae they could have had a bracket of some sort. Was there any indication of a hole in the quarter for an antennae?
