It is in fact a DH Camaro. For obvious reasons I have been trying to obtain info on this car/driver but so far dead ends. JoeC. provided me with a partial lead but nothing so far.

Do you mean Harry Kalwie? He is a known Harrell driver, had a 69 Nova, and 70 Camaro.

Ken,
The magazine article listed his name as Kalmel. Could it be a misprint? Pretty unusual there would be two similar names working for Dick. Anything you can tell us on him and the car?
Rick

Rick,

Look up the post "70 Camaro" on the DickHarrell.com website. There is a nice pic of Harry's car there. Looks very similar to Kim's 70ZL1 Gibb/Harrell Racecar. BTW, is your buddy looking for one more KH wheel? Call me if he is.

Thanks for the info. I cannot afford to stable another car. If that were the case I would currently own the 70 DH street car but besides the lack of room, it got too expensive, that is why I passed it onto Chad. I was more interested in finding out info on the '70 DH Camaros as a whole to help Chad put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Thanks for that info however.
Rick

Harry is a very nice gentleman. I have known about him, his cars and discussed in great length with him. As Dave said, the cars are alive and not for sale. Harry is a pretty private individual. Excellent history though. Harry has told me great sories about Dick, his cars and his racing history.
