Another one of the local 67's was raced by Sam Brooks , and was called "White Lightning".
This is the car I bought off a lawyer in Miami who was going to jail in 1997? He bought it at the Mopar nats in Columbus in the early 90's. I sold it to Bill in 98-99?

thx chris jhon did a beautifull job building that car 
As for Ray Christian, he raced 4 67 Hemi Belvederes and one Hemi Coronet w-o car named "The Beeleiver"owned at that time by Starkey. The 67 cars that he raced were, a 67 Hemi Belvedere 2 door sedan with a Hemi Scoop ( that he built), a 67 Hemi Belv.hardtop called "The Harrisburg missel",( that he built and I bought in 1973), a white Hemi Belv. with red frosted paint around the edges, and a real nice silver Hemi 67 Belv. Hardtop. One of the last 2 that I mentioned caught fire out in front of his shop and again, one of those 2 cars Ray told me was the old Jere Stahl car. Another one of the local 67's was raced by Sam Brooks , and was called "White Lightning". Then there was a guy named Gorden Wallace, AKA,"Buzzy" Who raced a 67 Hemi Belv. Then there was "The Roar-N-Hemi" owned by Phil Roar. Marcusic was the original owner of that car, then Dave Miller, then Sam Brooks, then Phil Roar and then to the present owner. Phil Roar had 3 original r-o cars and has a wealth of info. I just talked to him today about this stuff , and I should talk to Sam Brooks too. As for Ben Morgan , don't remember him having a Hemi car. He was world famous for his Max Wedge cars.If someone is going to do a CORRECT history on these cars, they should get started NOW while the original drivers are still around.
I've been trying to get a picture of the "BeeLiever" car from Starkey but they might have been lost to time.. That was one of the hardest leaving '67 cars back in the day. I remember the Division 3 point race NTR in '72. It left the line with only one wheel on the ground. I stored it in my garage for a year or so then one day Starkey told me it was sold. I was crushed...I would have bought it if I'd known it was for sale.
From what I remember, it used a cut down tunnel ram manifold.

Ah, a tale of yore – In 1967, I wanted a 67 Street Hemi car - and went to my local Dodge dealer. He looked for one, and found one (white with black 4 speed) in Pahokee, Florida (no joke) – well hooked up the trailer, and with one of his sales people - headed to Pahokee - it is on the south side of Lake Okeechobee – picked up the car, with the headers, battery, and carb isolator in the trunk, and decided to drive it home – and I did - oh well another that has disappeared.

I remember one for sale in Miami around 1974. It sit in the driveway of a house just a block or two off US1. Maybe your old car?

No... the car in Miami was a Coronet. From what I recall it had some lettering on it that didn't make any sense to us. Like the Coronet picture you posted. A buddy and I used to spend our free time chasing down Hemi and max wedge cars in south Florida.
strange...I thought I knew all the cars in Homestead but I never saw the Belvedere. I lived on SW 12th st 1973-75.
Markusic... that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. He was killed when his Hemi powered AMX crashed. I talked to him at Bluegrass Dragway...nice guy.
