The real story is that it is one of these:
67 Plymouth Satellite. You can see the crest in the hood matches, but you can also see that the hood doesn't hang down as low in the front too. It's a Satellite hood that had the leading bit cut off of it and a new leading bit created to make it more like the Coronet/Charger hood.
The front fenders clearly don't match either the Coronet or Satellite fenders on the front portion. They are actually Coronet fenders that were cut so that instead of swooping forward they would continue the natural line of the hood.
The grill parts in the pictures are from a Charger and from the Satellite. Dad hasn't decided what route to go there really. I keep telling him to go with the Charger grill and have it chromed. He's talked about black for the car but he will drive the shit out of it and he isn't sure he wants the upkeep of a black car for that kind of duty. It would look bad ass as hell in black with that modified Charger grill chrome popping out of the front. We'll see what ends up in the front end though.
You can see the trunk lid originally had a concave portion in the middle where it now smoothly arches out. Quarter extensions modified similarly and filled where the taillights originally wrapped around to the side of the car. If you look at the picture of the trunk lid you can see evidence of some of the work that has been done in the shot from the side the shows the lip. The lip is more of a focal point so the other thing is something you don't really notice initially.
