Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

Ok.. I've been watching all this and I have something to add... Here is a quote from Dave Libby taken from the Harrell site and the pic he posted.

[ QUOTE ]
OK. As I understand it the owner has been quoted saying"thats my car."
That is incorrect. Altho it cannot be seen in this picture or at least clearly defined because the seam is hidden behind the blower/injector this car has a working door. True enough it was used very seldon but it was there none the less.
There is a video tape of Dick getting in the door that many here have seen
that I happen to have a copy of which just today sent to be processed into
some still pictures. The car in this video shows Dick getting into the car through the door
The so described Tri-color Burgandy paint on this car was done by Corky Larsen
of Phoenix AZ and is in fact that color in this picture. Also I might add the
much studied "Vanes" on the spoiler were added by Larsen when the color was changed on this car from red to the above mentioned color.

One more thing worth mentioning the "flaw" in the pass.side "door" where the bottom sort of juts out as if the door was not compleatly closed (bottom)
as photographed on the car in question. That "flaw does NOT exist on the car in the picture. IMO that is a defect in the mold the body was made from and
exactly matches Bruce Larson's 68 car Houston Platts's car
(body mfg by A&A fiberglass of Atlanta I believe). Not Fiberglass Trends of CA. or Fiberglass LTD. of Chicago

Well I fully expect this to be spin doctored but it does not matter truth is truth, even if it isn't what one wants to hear
Oh yes one more thing the similar car mentioned in the text is pointed out and is Dick's 67 car in it's last livery before it was sold to Bruce Neff (yellow/Blk)

Hopefully this will be my last post on this subject.
