Why is this being called 'one of none'? It sure looks legit, and sounds like it has documentation.........

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 
The basic story is that Chrysler pulled the Hemi from the option list in 1967 for all but the R/T, GTX. and Charger models (and the specal run of BelvedereII and Coronet Race Hemis). You should not have been able to order a lower line Belvedere or Coronet with a Hemi, yet some were ordered and built anyway. There are no known existing factory production records in existance to verify exactly how many were originally built, only records of how many have surfaced over the years. This is the 4th known 67 Hemi BelvedereI (RL21J7XXXX) to have surfaced so far, hence there are now &quot;4 known to exist&quot;. There is one yellow 4 speed (the Judy Lilly race car) one dark blue 4 speed (currently being cut up into a race car ) another medium blue automatic being restored, and now this beauty! That makes three 4 speeds and one automatic known to exist.

Great find &amp; follow up.
Looks as clean and unmolested as you could ever hope for,after 44 years.
Good for you for being so persistant and sharing it with us.
