To my knowledge, the "TNT" designation, i.e., name, decals, etc., was never
used on an Imperial. For Imperial, the high perf engine was called the
"Dual"-- although I believe it was essentially the same as the TNT, which was
offered on Chryslers.
Also, I don't think they offered that engine until '67, so it's most likely
someone has changed engines or dressed up the old one.
