ABSOLUTELY ! ! ! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

And the Ash Gold car is even better in person. He had it at the LaHarpe show a few years back. The car is amazing.

I have talked to Roger for years. We had never met until the Reunion. It was great to met you &amp; your car. You both were fun to be around. We had fun talking old times.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
 
Tracked down all Missouri DMV "owners of record" for my old Chevelle . . .
The following five owners lived in/around Knob Noster Mo:
. . HK, David P & Richard D owned after I traded it Until July 1983 . . .
. . Roger C owned from July 1983, sold in Aug 1983 . . .
. . . . Roger's mom said he passed away in 1987 . . .
. . Robert V owned from Aug 1983, sold in 1985 at auction, Higginsville Mo . . .
. . . .The Harrell emblem went missing at that auction . . .
. . . .I tracked Robert down in Dec 2008 and we talked several times . . .

Then, the car changed owners three more times . . .
. . Joe C, Independence Mo, had it until Dec 2007, sold on eBay . . .
. . Jason S, Spencer Ia, bought on eBay Dec 2007, sold on eBay Jan 2008 . . .
. . Jon W in Ottawa Il, bought on eBay Jan 2008 . . .
I bought it back from Jon via his August 11, 2009 Craigslist add :laugh:

I'm checking with them for their stories - hopeful I can share them . . .
Also hopeful I can come up with a few circa 70's photos to share :beers:

Talked via phone recently with a gentleman who worked at Bill Allen Chevrolet back in '69 - he was working the "rack" the day I bought the Chevelle. He commented, " . . . All three Dickie Harrell cars" :biggthumpup:

Yeah baby - good stuff! Really personalizes it!!

Any chance you remember my Chevelle . . .. Bob replied, "I really do, there was a Nova/Chevy 2 and a Camaro. All three Dickie Harrell cars" :biggthumpup:
"Bob" is Bill Allen's youngest son . . .

I am searching for a fellow from Gallatin who (one early summer evening in 1970 on Hwy 13 between Gallatin and Hamilton, MO) met more than his match. He was driving THE HOT DODGE in Gallatin - believe it was tricked out - never had a chance with my plane/Jane orange V8 Chevelle. . .

Summer of 1970, the other Race . . .
The other race was just outside Karen's hometown of Gallatin, MO in the summer of 1970 shortly after we were engaged. She and a lifelong friend Janel Reynolds, were riding around with me that summer evening when we were “invited” to race Karen & Janel’s underclassman, Ben Houghton in his strong running Challenger 440 six pack. Junior Burke set it up on Highway 13 between Gallatin and Hamilton. Ben smoked his tires - I eased off the line and then hammered it to the turnaround. Flashing red lights in the distance heading our way halted a rematch . . .

Gallatin Missouri, summer of '70 race remembered :)

Not the typical show where I had to explain "Bill Bill Allen Allen" or his connection with Dick Harrell :biggthumpup:

The response was overwhelming ❤
Bob Allen (Bill Allen's son) dropped by to see the Chevelle again & talk about old times ❤

Boy that car is beautiful I’d love to see it in person

Maybe this will help convince some of the neh sayers that your car is what you have always claimed it to be and can finally get the credit it deserves.

Yep, Bob's comment is golden :biggthumpup:

It's been nine years since we tracked down & bought back the old Chevelle - many priceless memories for Karen and me :biggthumpup:

Looking good, guys! Those are two of my favorite Chevelles.

About 20 years ago a friend of mine in Odessa, MO owned the all original red 1968 Dick Harrell 427 Chevelle. Wonder what ever happened to that car?

SS427 01-23-2019 12:08 AM

Likely the same car Joe Sweezy and Steve Sandlins previously owned car. I think it is now in the Brother's Collection?

1969L89 01-23-2019 12:37 AM

I think it might have been. If I remember correctly it had dual carbs on it.

SS427 01-23-2019 12:40 AM

Yep, same as Joe's.

SS427 01-23-2019 12:45 AM

Google "Dick Harrell 68 Chevelle" on the net and you will see it.

----Using that bench seat for what it was designed for, I see! absolutely no social distancing going on as was so very common back in the day. Something got lost when buckets became so prevalent. Good for you two. I'm just thinking now and we don't have one bench seat car. Oh, the shame...Bill S

Congrats Karen and Roger :)

Nothing better than a Bench Seat....Muscle Car!

Congrats Karen and Roger!! Awesome!!!
