Default Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

Copolocater. I haven't seen the pictures of the car I see being posted about how it is a Dick Harrell 69 funny car
or just the body. I know several people who worked for Dick at the time and I also spent a fair amount of time with Dick,and the crew. I have located all but 1 of the people who could shine some real light on it. According to these people, who were more than teenagers at the time, there was only 1 car and 1 body. The car that year did have a few different paint jobs, which would lead people to believe there was more than 1 car.I will send a picture of what was left of the real 69 car as it left the home of Elaine Harrell around this time in 2000. At that time it did belong to Valerie. I wonder if Nancy Gibb could have the cars confused, being that the ZL1 and the F/C were finished close to the same time and painted a lot alike?
There were Camaros Funny cars every where in 68 and 69 Your body could be anyones.I would say there were 100 active cars at the time Kosty Ivanof was on the scene until about 1982.He was from the east coast.Best of luck on your car.
