I love any Mopar B body car, especially all the muscle. part of these are those monster
Stage III, Stage IV and 426 Hemi drag cars. Â Highway61 Did the Stiles & Stahl R023 Belvedere four speed car.
And I just found this version of the Tom Myl 1967 RO23 Belvedere.
Very well done, of a car I've never heard of. 426 Hemi automatic car raced back east in 1967.
markings seem exact although aside from the box, I can't find any images of this car.
looks very accurate, other than a couple missing sponsor decals. Love that it has the Cragar front wheels and the hood ornament.
these are made in a quantity of only 150 models. I also like the cross pollination of all these eastern Mopar race cars. these guys used Stahl headers, and the car was tuned by Arlen Vanke, who was a VERY well known and successful Mopar racer back "in the day"

Hey Chris... I vaguely remember these when introduced (I think). I can appreciate your frustration trying to authenticate a particular livery ("...been there, done that, do that"). This is the perfect job for "Dr. Marlowe Johnson." He's a walking encyclopedia of vintage 1960's drag action. I summons him for you. I too would love to validate the accuracy of your beautiful looking 1/18 1967 Plymouth Belvedere! 🤔 🤔Â

Unfortunately, I cannot help with this one. This is the first I've seen of this car and never knew it existed. Â
