1967 Coroner R/T of Dick Landy

[R413]

Photos I collected over time. Interesting to see 2 cars in the photo and notice the differences in the paint scheme. See the one car has R/T in red, other in white. Then the size of the red fratzog. Then only one car says performance clinic under his name on the door. Not many photos of these 1967 cars out there.

The second Photo dated JUL 67 shows a silver R/T next to the race hauler. Did this car get painted blue also? The date is when they were developed.

Some photos show the WO super stock hood scoop. Some show the stock R/T hood louver and B/SA on the window.

They ran two similar looking cars. One was a WO23 Hemi 4-speed car. These cars were all delivered in white paint with black bench seat interiors and wide functional hood scoop. Race teams were then free to paint them their preferred colours. The WO23 car was originally painted silver, but I think Dodge had Landy redecorate this car to match the R/T to help sales by putting this performance package in public view. This car ran as SS/B. The other car was real R/T with 440/automatic and was campaigned in D/SA. If you look closely, you can see that one of the cars has a bench seat. To further confuse things, Landy switched powertrains between the two cars. This way, the Hemi ended up in the lighter R/T body. Hemi cars were heavier because of all the factory added stiffer under structure. There is an excellent book out there called "Landy's Dodges". Lots of pictures and history of the Landy operation.
On the Plymouth side, Sox and Martin did the same thing, campaigning two cars that were passed off as GTX, but one was really an RO23 Hemi car with bench seat.
