This is Jim Kirby's 68 bodied funnycar. It was originally painted gold in early 1968 prior to him being sponsored by Dick Harrell. I have a June of '68 dragworld that says Jim was here in MN with the car, painted gold. It raced against the topless Nova pictured above. The car ended up being rebodied in 1970 with a '70 body, and is supposed to still exist.

This car is also known as the second '68 Harrell funnycar. It was owned by Jim Kirby, and is different than Dicks personal '68 funnycar. Later in the year it was painted a dark purple or maroon. I think Boemler Chevy was a MO. based dealer. The name has only been seen on this car. It apparently only had one tank in the front for gas, as Dick's had 2 moon tanks for fuel and H20. I think I have this straight. Tom, do you care to comment?
