Interesting Vega conversion
I found this on Facebook and what looked like a fairly common V8 Vega swap got my interest when I saw the Kelsey Hayes Stripper wheels and Quadrajet carb. Could this possibly be a Dick Harrell conversion? I have never seen anything about them doing one and it could just be coincidence but the wheels and carb got me thinking. I cannot make out anything from the license plate nor does the logo look anything like DH used. Anyone have any input?

You're right on the money Rick as it sure looks like the below Harrell car I posted pics of previously in this thread... https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1406403  ~ Pete .

Hmmmmmm. Wonder what became of it. Thanks for the reminder photo. Same license plate as the photo I posted. Definitely looks to be a Harrell conversion.

I noticed the plate too and expect it's the very same car. The article on the linked page mentions the 'Velle also Camino were Gibb sourced cars so a good possibility the Vega was too.  ~ Pete .

Pete, when Dave Libby was helping me document the 70 DH LS6 Camaro we found he mentioned that Harrell did at least 1 El Camino and a few Nova conversions. I do not recall him mentioning any Vega's but we were not talking about that body style at the time anyway.
