You gotta love it when a lady shows up in her fathers 67' Hemi he bought new in early 68' and kept all his life to pass down to her !!!

Pretty dang cool - reckon she's got anyone to help her maybe clean it up a little?
 
Normally a 67 would be a GTX... Per Galen's White book Chrysler built 1 67 Belvedere I with a 426 & a 727.

They built 5 Belvedere II's with a 426 & a 727...
 
I got a good question. The speedo goes to 120. Was that standard thing for one of these?
 
120 speedo was standard.... GTX got the 150, not an option in the Belvedere
 
Another question is I thought the gold pentastar was only on the lower passenger side fender not on the drivers side.
Is that a Belvedere 1 or 2 ( not familiar with 67's )
Either way it is a super cool and obviously rare car.
Gotta love the single pot master cylinder !
 
That car is a funky mix of parts. Nothing there is 1967. It’s a 1966 Belvedere II according to the side trim, emblems and door mirror. That green dash was 66 only, so is the column, wheel, shifter, etc. single master cylinder. That’s a C-body gas pedal. And then it has 1966 Satellite wheelwell and rocker trim. See how they fit together. And the super rare drivers side pentastar.

And where is the bracket on the inner fender with the horn relay and starter solenoid? They are mounted on the firewall like a non hemi car.

When you type 67’ that means sixty seven feet.
The abbreviation of 1967 is ‘67

I don't know 66-67 well enough to tell, I know a 66 Hemi would have the relay bracket, not seeing the bracket I accepted the 67 MY as fact... Being an older Hemi swap totally makes sense, without seeing VIN/Fender Tag etc I would have more questions than answers..

Didn’t even notice the gas pedal but yeah that’s not right.
I guess I was thinking plural 67’s not ‘67
 
1966 Hemi insignia, and the column and cluster have some 66 like features, along with everything @R413 said. Did you get a picture of the whole car? 2 headlights or 4?
It's still great for her to bring her dad's old car out. I know it was a cool thing in the day to put gauges in the dash like that, but today I would be hunting for a dash or repairing that one. Still it has good possibilities if it's a real Hemi car.
Thanks for sharing.
 
I seem to remember a Hemi Satellite being produced. I can’t remember the trans.
 
Either that car was a Model Year transition car....parts carry-over and used up till gone, as what happened in subsequent years.....or it is a really old Day 2 owner upgrade to a HEMI......IMHO.

I'm no expert, but I agree about the gas pedal, and the extra Pentastar. That Master cylinder screams out original, and makes me wonder if that would have been installed on a HEMI car from the factory. Darn sure I wouldn't rely on that with the additional HP.

Nice touch with the WEIAND valve cover screws. :)
 
Seems to me, some of the obvious Hemi signs need to be looked into, like vin #, data plate, trans cooler, split wiring harness on passenger valve cover. torque boxes ect.
 
Cool car, but as noted above, some things just don't add up. Occasionally, we'd come across an odd thing or two that was installed on the line; back then, they's slap stuff on by mistake & left it on. But, here, there's a few. I also thought 67's had a dual master cylinder.
 
I was thinking 1966 with some repairs and additions.
 
1966
By 1967, it was mandated by the Federal Government that all vehicles use a dual-brake master cylinder, with separate circuits in case of the failure of a line or other issue.
 
It took me forever to be able to tell the difference between 66 and 67 Plymouth b body cars.

Now they are as different as night and day to me.
