"HitIt" is correct, that sure does look Moser Quality!
If it is a Moser, it's "well north" of $60 K

1965 Belvedere destroyed in possible suicide attempt! ARTICLE IN FOLLOWING THREE POSTS
Robert L. Mosher III grew up in Southern California. His father, Bob Mosher, Jr., was a successful Hollywood writer/producer who created Leave it to Beaver, The Munsters and other popular shows during the 1950s and 1960s.
The younger Bob developed a love of cars at an early age and a fascination with hot rods during the "Munster" years. Hot rods naturally spurred an interest in drag racing: Mosher and a friend built a ‘D’ Gas 1956 Chevy that won a trophy at a local strip.
Mosher’s Mopar experience began with another friend’s brand-new 1963 Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge. With the addition of fender-well headers, a 456 rear end gear and cheater slicks, the car was never beaten on strip or street. As Mosher said, "It left a lasting impression."
After a break for the youth movement, growing up and acquiring a family, Mosher got back into Mopars in the early 1980s. He built a Max Wedge clone from a 1964 Plymouth that made the pages of the November 1980 issue of Popular Hot Rodding, the first of more than 20 appearances in the enthusiast press.

The business was successful, but before Mosher moved his shop to its present location in Monrovia, California, he decided to focus strictly on 1962-1965 Dodge and Plymouth Super Stock type cars. It turned out to be a smart business decision.
Every Mosher restoration is hand-built down to the last nut and bolt: Bob’s cars aren’t just his work; they’re still his hobby.
One of the cars Bob built was a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere Max Wedge with a 440 Chrysler block. As can be seen from the photos, the car was an outstanding recreation – the engine bay and interior are first-rate.
The car was special: Bob Mosher had built it for himself, but ended up selling it to a shop customer.

On March 2 this year, the Belvedere was at the Mosher shop for some service work when the son of a former employee decided to take the $59,000 stock car for a final ride.
According to Bob Mosher, the young man had had a problem with methamphetamines but everyone believed he had gotten past his addiction: he had a good job, a girl friend and money in the bank.
In what some believe was an attempt at suicide, he got the shop key and alarm code from his dad and got in while the Mosher crew was away for a few days. Having gained entry into the shop, he broke into a lock box where the vehicle keys are stored, unlocked a non-running car that was parked in front of the Belvedere and rolled into the parking lot while his girlfriend tried to stop him.
He then got into the Belvedere, fired it up, floored it and flew out of the parking lot. He blew through traffic signals, eventually getting the car up to an estimated 150 miles per hour as he traveled west into neighboring Arcadia. He then drove the car up over a curb, bounced off a tree, knocked down a telephone pole and crashed through a triple cinderblock wall.
He never backed off the throttle.
Clinically dead at the scene, paramedics were able to resuscitate him. All of his teeth were knocked out and he broke some 25 bones. He has undergone 40 surgeries and will require more before he can physically lead a normal life.
The Belvedere, of course, was destroyed. From the B-pillar forward, it’s hard to tell the scrambled wreckage was ever a car.
