It looks to me like a chrome cylinder "Tool Bag" under the headlight.

I think it might be a Fury. The Belvedere had horizontal feather thingys on the rear of the fins. Where as the Fury didn't have the feather thingys but had the round doohickey..whatever that was.. Was that the gas filler??

Must be a '71 Sporty then 'cause a '70 wouldn't have had the points under the side case, it would have had a distributor on top.

I wish there was a way to tell the colors from black and white photos...I am just going to have to guess.
