One way to ID the car will be to ID the chassis.Have you sanded any paint to check for earlier paint schemes? There were several cars that ran with the early Charger body . Lindemood,Schumacher,Graebner,Kennedy just to name a few.Can you post a chassis pic? I will post some pics later tonight.

Does the body tilt up or come off in pieces? The front suspension will be the easiest thing to tag to a particular builder.That frame looks very original from the photo you posted.If it was updated it wasn't in the cockpit.
