I've got the original 67 Belvedere hood ornament ( don't know how it compares to the 65 ) and my car was originally a 383 car, but the ornament is blank - does not have the 383 call out on it ? ?

Go figure . . .

beginning to think that its a one year only type thing. 65's are fatter than 66 up and I believe only the big block cars in 65 got engine size

Don't have one but this might help, a pic of my original 65. Believe a 1 year deal. Might try Joe Suchy.

Thanks for the great picture- . Is the callout a foil decal or part of the ornament?

I believe it is a decal. My 65 ornament had a 318 decal that I am changing to 426. The decal has to be taken off very gently so as not to scratch the ornament.

A blank 1967 hood ornament meant it was a slant 6 engine.

Took a close look at mine & the 383 is definitely cast in & raised. "383" has a gold color surrounded by argent paint. Actually a fairly fancy item. Had one w/ a slant 6 with no emblem, believe 273's may be same.

I carefully peeled the raised 318 number metal decal out of my 65 Bel II ornament. Currently having it rechromed because it was pitted, and I have a 426 decal that I am placing in the area where the 318 number was. You can check with a guy named Charlie Quarters at [email protected] who has a lot of parts for a 65. He is also a member of this site.
