....I just read on the other site that Bob Gibson, who IS a funny car expert, has just stated what everyone wanted to know in the first place: Tom's car is not a Dick Harrell car and in fact it is the Huston Platt Dixie Twister. Congrats Tom!!! A "Southern" drag car found!!!.............RatPack....................

Kind of interesting you mention Bob Gibson. The very first show we had the car at was the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY, parked in the American Racing Wheel booth, a guest of who else? Yep, Bob's. He even gave us a set of center caps for the rear wheels, and put a deal together for me to buy a set of headers from the '69 car. The 3rd show was Etown, where Bob was at as well. No time did he ever mention to Mo or I that he saw issues with the car.
And I have heard that Dave Libby has denounced the car as well. He too has spent considerable time with the car, and until now, never questioned the car's heritage, at least to Mo or I.
To the point now, hard to know who and/or what to believe when even the "experts" cannot cannot make up their minds about what is real and what is not?
