Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

Wow Greg! That Manhart and Engle sure looks like the DH 68 body. Most of the front fender sponsor decals/names are exactly the same, the opening door looks exactly the same and the rear driver's side window is exactly the same. If that is the DH 68 body then the chassis might be under the 69 body. I believe Val has the car now if I read the posts correctly. Has she ever checked the chassis for the Hardy tag like Matt showed on the Kirby car? As for Tom's car, it can't be the Platt car because the Platt car and a lot of those other similar 68 body's have no molded front bumper but Tom's car does. Unless Tom's car had a completely different front nose section replaced on his car. This is still really interesting stuff. And if you look at the older picture of the Kirby car that Dave put in that older post, you could see where it might have been raced by DH without the "Jim Kirby" on the front fenders and that could be the car in some of these old pictures.
