Couple guys from Bklyn had purchased this Dick Harrell car a few weeks before this picture was taken at Hampton. They couldn't get a full pass out of it, but it was still quicker then most there that day!

was that Pat Darragh in a green 69? apparently she ran showroom stock undefeated that year. She lived around the block from me. her man ran a 68 charger then a 70/71 challenger. They both drove to the track. Crazy.

I remember the Corvette. It had pinstriped- "If you can beat me, you can eat me!" That blonde and her Corvette were always brought up in conversation at car night locations.

Isn't that a Gran Sport hood? As in Corvette GS race car?

PeteLeathersac 02-09-2007 12:28 AM

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 
'63 Grand Sports (w/ a D unlike a Buick) did have a similar look but w/ some fluted vanes in the scoops..

Comparing the custom coupe and the '67 roadster hoods, the coupe's scoop area appears slightly higher than the roadster?.

Those goofy scoops on the fender vents of the coupe are somewhat reminiscent of the style on the '68 'Vette here a few weeks back where the guy was wondering if it was a Motion car?. They were a single scoop and kind've looked like a smaller Thunderbolt hood scoop...could be the same Vette customizer?.
