Not so, take a closer look, it's a 23rd Series (tail light pods and single side trim) and there was no club sedan in the 23rd Series Custom 8 line. It's a Super DeLuxe (327 engine) which was kind of a hybrid model introduced in the 23rd series; egg-crate grille and other similarities but priced less than the Custom 8 and less-well appointed of course.

I saw the car at Meadow Brook this year. Koffel's place (shop) is near my house.

How close is that paint job to original "50th Anniversary" gold? It looks very good. The four-door layout is different for a drag car, but it kind of fits with the Flintstone motif. The hood ornament is fantastic! How many modified dragsters do you see with a hood ornament? I bet this thing hooked up really good.
