Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

I'm sorry..I was going off memory..I thought the car had been campagined or was going to be by a guy owning a Pizza Hut and he was somewhere south..


What about DH and Gibb in 1967 or 1968???

It is interesting to me that the 1967 DH car is shown with a black top..I would think he would have used that color scheme as his first color scheme on his 1968 car. But if he did and Tom's car is "Car 1" as he puts it..no door..how can that be..Wouldn't his first Car have the door like the 1967 car, which I don't think is in dispute? Why go from "door" (1967) to "no door" (TC's car), then back to "door" (Car 2 in Tom's hypothesis the burgundy car)???

Also is it possible that DH painted his cars in the same schemes as Gibb (look at Lil Hoss) because he received money or some sort of support there..After all the 1967 car while carrying both "Courtsey" and "Yenko" sponsorship was painted and looked very similar to "Lil Hoss" red/blk top, and Tom's "Car 2" looks like a very similar paint scheme to ZL1 #1 which was certainly a Gibb/Harrell collaboration. I guess I'm lost as the only way I can see Tom's hypothesis working is if his car is the first car and it has a door (which it doesn't).. he thinks his is Car 1 as well, However there isn't a door and general common knowledge, he evens makes reference to it in a previous post..about MB is this door..So if the Harrell, Burkhart, and Kirby cars were from the same mold and were identical..Where is the door?
