Thanks for letting me join this group.
I recently found a picture of a car my dad had back in the early 70’s that I could use help identifying. He couldn’t remember the model, only that it was a Dodge. My ultimate goal is to build a recreation of this car. Thanks in advance.

Brian

You're right, I didn't realize there was a subtle difference in the bsm with the 440.

The Coronet 500 has the same tail light panel as the R/T. The Coronet 440 has the same as the Super Bee.
