Look up a guy called "connman" on this site. He recently made a post and said he used to work for Dick Harrell.

Robert,

Do you have any names to associate the corvette too? If so, would Don Young be one of those? While the car would look different now, it appears to have the same front runners I remember on his car, but that has been a long time ago? I don't know if he was ever associated with Dick Harrell, but do know he was once employed at Ronnie's Speed Shop? Like Kim mentioned, the emblems were sold to those who wanted one as far as I know? Several cars around the area carried the Dick Harrell logo, that were individually owned? A good friend from Springfield, MO, raced corvettes that might have some information & know more than I? He is still building motors in his place of business, Ruble Racing.

I don't believe Dick Harrell raced this car but very good possibilty did the work for an individual in his shop in KC. The stopping point for the owner ship ends with William Allen of Blue Spring Mo. All I've been able to find is that Mr. Allen was a corvette owner but has passed away. Someone spent some bucks back then. Hopefully I'll be able to at least find out who dropped in the 327 and trans in it and doing the prep on the car. I do appreciate the leads!
Thanks
