May 9, 2011 - WE HAVE IGNITION . . .
.................................................. ...SUCCESS :) |
Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Success INDEED! Sounds good Roger. Love the tappety-tap of the mechanical cam!
|
Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Roger, sounds & looks great.
It LOOKS like you have WAY too much positive camber (alignment) in the front end. Maybe it is the angle of the picture, but massive positive camber like that will not give you any driving pleasure ... |
Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Love it! Success! This is Priceless!

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
BIG congrats Roger!!!
With all that's happened since you first appeared here including finding your old car, discovering it was a factory Copo before it went through Dick H's hands then sharing your resto, it really feels like this car's part of the family here and we're all proud aunts and uncles!.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
As the "Original Owner" (and now owner again), it's been a real privilege to share my story about this car . . .
Just the plain, simple truth backed up by original and authentic circa '69 documents from the "original" Dick Harrell Performance Center and from the "original" Bill Allen Chevrolet that were doing business in August 1969. . . I am pleased to present this "first date car" (for me and my wife), a real deal, documented, one of a kind 1969 COPO/Dick Harrell Chevelle . . . Pete, the steadfast encouragement and support on this site is sincerely appreciated! THANK YOU!!! |
Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
this is the best story / thread ever (well besides the street scene thread) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
enjoy!!!!! |

Good morning Gang:
My car had GM fender flags, like this. . . Same size as 396/427 emblems - large flags but no "427Turbo-jet". . . May have been big block '67 Impala flags. You could tell it was a V8 but no mention of cubic inches . . . No hint of anything 'special' under the hood . . . When asked about the motor back in the day, "just a stock V8" :) |
Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
They pop up on Ebay from time to time. Here are a few sets that recently ended:
