It is a 68 - has fiberglass fenders, right hood & scoop, mirror delete appears to have a crossram - it is hard to tell from a photo but it sure looks like a Hemi S/S. Interesting to note that the scoop has only one support - they came with two - the only other car I have seen with one is the original "Mule" car - but I don't think that this is it - hmmmm stumped me agian, any idea where and when this photo was taken? Is any of the lettering readable in your photo? I am interested in this car as I have never seen it. Thanks,

Dog,
Ronnie said that photo of his Wildfire '62 had to be '88, not '84. Car wasn't even done in '84.

ALso asked him about the '62 sedan "Ditto" and he had no recollection of it.

This shot was taken at Islip Speedway, an 1/8 mile track that was located on Long Island, in '69 or '70.
I would have to find the slide to tell you exactly. If you need to know I'll track it down.
I remember the car as being from Queens - the door say's Jerry's Automotive with a Woodhaven Blvd,
Rego Park address.
It looks like the quarter panel says Colonial Auto Body with a Rockaway Blvd address,
which would put it in the same general area.
