1967 Plymouth Belvedere

1967 Plymouth Belvedere II Super Stock In the world of Mopars, unless it is a major custom, originality and the numbers are crucial for determining collectability. Have an original Hemi motor under the hood and you are even better off as Hemis are the king of rarity in these cars. The Belvedere was introduced by Plymouth in 1954 and remained in production until 1970. The name was inspired by an Italian word for "beautiful sight." They originally started as a trim level of the Cranbrook until replacing the Cranbrook as Plymouths highest tier full size car. In 1965 the Belvedere became the intermediate sized car and was much more compact with very different body lines than they had in the 50s. They fit nicely into the muscle car world and special versions were created to perform and compete. In current times many people are familiar with vehicles like the Dodge Demon being released basically as factory race cars. Well that is not a new trend because even back in the 60s manufacturers were making cars like this extremely clean 1967 Belvedere II. It is what is known as a light weight super stock car. That makes it 1 of only 55 cars built this way from the factory all of which were White. If that isnt rare enough then lets add in that this R023 car has its original Hemi and since completed has traveled a mere 250 miles. The car was rumored to be used at a racing school but that hasnt been documented. However, the rest of the numbers have been decoded and documented. It is in the Chrysler Registry and sold new at Interstate Motors, Inc. in Bristol, Tennessee. This thing is the real deal and comes with its original broadcast sheet. How did it make it to 2024 with such limited miles? Well, 250 miles isnt much when you consider it is a car that primarily travels 1/4 or 1/8 of a mile at a time. The car truly is a museum level collector car and has won many awards including prestigious ones like Goodguys muscle car of the year and Mopar of the year. The body of the car is rock solid with zero rust anywhere and has its original body panels. The White paint has a great finished and is nicely complemented by the original chrome and stainless. It has the correct super stock hood up front with that wide center Ram Air scoop. It has an aggressive stance to let you know it means business and currently rides on a set of period correct Torq Thrust D wheels with the period correct bias-ply Firestone tires and matching cheater slicks on the back. It does however come with its original White Steelies with no hub caps (from the factory) which are in good condition. A sure fire way to make any Mopar fan smile is to pop the original hood to show off the mighty 426 Hemi "elephant" motor which was named as such due to its size. These have to be one of the most recognizable motors ever produced and when it is factory original makes for a rare combination. It is fitted with dual 4 barrel Carter carburetors and a dual point Prestolite ignition. This v
