I'm sure trying to keep up on this thread... I have some good pictures of the Kirby car taken right after the Super Rat name was put on it.
A person would be a bloom'in idiot to think Matt's, Jim Kirby car isn't an authentic Dick Harrell team car.
I may be the butt here but I know what I'm looking at and TC's car as far as I'm concerned is not one of Dick's old cars.
That car was in my display booth at Bowling Green in 2003 and I looked the car over real well and I had a few doubts then but wasn't 100% sure and didn't want to voice an opinion, but as I've gotten more pictures of it and started compairing certain things, I start seeing things that don't add up.

I'll bring my pictures and if TC will let me near the car I'll show him some differences that will prove it.
TC, It's ok to build a clone in honor of a great racer... but admit it, people will enjoy looking at the car just the same.

Bob..The person saying that Muphys car was not a Harrell car was Dale Pulde.....

On Ebay the Jim Kirby Camaro is being sold as an Orignal Dick Harrell 68 Funny car. This car was used and run to fill match races by Dick, He and Charlie Therewanger raced it for a while then the owner Jim Kirby ran the Harrell name for a while.
It was NEVER an original Dick Harrell car. This car is still appears to be on great shape and a real good find. DP"

Bob..Are you thinking Tom is trying to say his car is the same as Murphys ? What do you have pics of ?
