Also hallman was the only one I can find whose dealership name is central chevy CO. INC.

what was don thinking applying to nhra as the manufacturer of the super camaro w/ designed and engineered by dick harrell all over his advertisements and fob out of st.louis where dick's shop was at that time, no wonder why they didn't let it fly, how would a tech inspection work back then if nhra allowed them to bring some for inspection before final denial? What class was he applying for modified or super stock??

ken I just pm'd you.. I just spoke w/ a man who worked at shalla , he said not only did they sponsor the 67 L88 harrell/yenko car, but later bought it from dick in 68, his job was to take it to shows and later he bought it in 69 I believe w/o logos, it said shalla on side, and killer on lid, car was red L88 w/ dual carters on weiand intake, m22, and 4.88s in a frontload pontiac rear!!

Looks like you read that right from the Racing Pulse magazine
Shalla did buy that 427 car as it was and they campaigned it locally with our 67 L78 'Over Anxious' car.

Here is a bit of trivia for you guys. Does anyone know who actually drove the Red 1967 Killer L88 Camaro for Shalla Chevrolet??



Great board guys, I'm just finding about about this! I've been posting at Camaros.net for about a year now.

Joe

I was told the 67 Yenko/Harrell Camaro may have come from Nickey or Bill Thomas and Harrell had it before he made is deal with Yenko.

Good work, it was Dick Lannen.

There was also a second driver when it was under Shalla Chevrolet, any idea who he is?
