Did I miss something ?????????

Re: Pittsburgh WOW
 

Well, I drove 4.5 hours through the mountains and a snowstorm, and found that the Texas Bikini girls were putting on a show in one corner of the convention, (couldn't see them over the crowd!), 'Cactus Jack' / 'Mankind' professional wrestler was signing autographs, Mean Joe Greene was there on Sunday along with Brett Bodine, lots of chrome and blowers, but no 'Circus Wagons' this year. Not much going on.

Oh yea, there was some old Chevelle there too, tucked in among the hi-po imports and street rods. Turns out it was a '68 Harrell Conversion Chevelle with only 11k miles on it's original paint, wheels, tires, ect!! The car is one of approximately 5 produced, and is the only one with the dual 4 barrel carb option. The car has a Concours interior, M20 4 speed, 3.73 12 bolt posi, along with a performance exhaust system and special air bag suspension, quite a combination for such a hi-po car. It is a site to see.

Joe Swezey and Brian Henderson of the Supercar Workshop brought the car to the show, it is owned by Joe Swezey. See the attached photos!

Very cool looking car!! What does the badge on the left side of the grill say? It looks like a Yenko emblem?

Marlin,
Thank you for posting the pictures! I have been looking foward to seeing Joe's car since I first heard that he had purchased it. It is a real winner! By the way, the badge that one of the guys was asking about is a "Dick Harrell" badge. The badge was the same crest that the Yenko name was on, Fred Gibb used it as well. Harrell always used the crest and would put the name of the dealer that was sponsoring him on it. Courtesy Chevrolet is an example of a name that was displayed on the badge.

NICE CAR!! I went to Chicago WOW this weekend.I wish I could say there was something to talk about but it wasn't so great of a show.Lots of Lowriders,PT Cruisers and full blown ISCA cars. Nice stuff but ....there were a few flawless old 1964 Max Wedge and a S/S Hemi car though.
