                                ‘Wally Gator’,,,,,sure looks like a 63′ thru 65′ Mopar with a hood scoop.
                                Maybe from Albany area……Paulie replied

                                    Dino,,
                                    If its 1969,
                                    Then that Mopar could be classed anywhere from SS/C thru SS/F, depending on the engine.
                                    Or in A/S or B/S.
                                    Didn’t the D & T Brothers run a black Max-Wedge in B/SA during that time period.

                                    The Belvedere emblem on the fender,,,,,,,,,,,should be a 1964 model.

                                        I Just saw this. It’s my car (Jim Biron). Actually j/s 69 230 hp then F/S 290 HP 70 (mostly at Lebanon) the finally I/S 250HP for the money. Did run a 12:42 on a 12:83 record only to have the record shot down to 12:20. Never did win when running for the money.
                                        Lost the car when the garage burned down. here is the last photo I have of it (no drive train)
