Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

Well, after going back through that old thread I think it's explained pretty well by Dave. The Kirby car was the backup car for DH and they even had it painted the same(except for Jim Kirby on the front fenders, maybe his name was removed when Dick or Charley raced the car). There was only 1 68 Dick Harrell funny car along with the Jim Kirby and Burnansky(sp?) car. But Dick's car went through several different paint jobs throughout the season which is why it looks like 2 different cars. Dave thought Tom had the 1 and only Dick Harrell 68 funny car but without the opening door it appears he doesn't. From what I understand in reading through those posts there never were 4 cars and that DH only had 1 car. Case closed?
