Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
I learned something I figure. I thought only SS and COPO got 72 paint.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Thanks for the shot of the trim tag. I'm w/ Darren on the code 72 paint, but I'm open to exceptions. I also see the "L" on the trim tag which for a Kansas built car (it was my understanding) indicated an SS Chevelle. Keep the photos and info coming!

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
That invoice does say Malibu with Special Paint. I would have thought "special" would get a "--"
 Neat!

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
If it was a Malibu it should have had lower moldings, and the extended front grill/fender moldings, rather than the wheel lip moldings the SS cars had. What "V8" emblems are you referring to? A standard Malibu would have had "Malibu" emblems on each quarter panel, and of course a Malibu wouldn't normally have an SS hood...Seems strange they'd replace the stock hood with a steel SS hood rather than a fiberglass aftermarket one. I've also never seen a 72 72 code on a 69 Malibu...lots of oddities here.
A cool car for sure..

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
It was beautiful indeed!
The photo shopped picture (posted at the beginning of this thread on how the car looked in 1969) shows how my car looked the day I bought it new. The SS hood and wheels plus the large Chevy crossed flags & one Harrell emblem on thed eck lid. There were no SS emblems (other than the wheels) on the car . . . Several friends around my home town (Plattsburg, MO) rode in this car, a few friends with (hot cars) saw the tail lights when we met for impromptu "drag races" at our favorite flat stretches (Hwy 33, a few miles South East of Plattsburg or Hwy 116 at the West edge of Plattsburg).

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Welcome.
By chance have you located the original Buildsheet from under the backseat,carpet or door panels? Do you have any Bill Allen Chevrolet specific documents for it as well? It looks like it coulda been delivered from the factory to Bill Allen Chev.as a Super Sport,before being sent to DHPC where it was doctored down,(SS body emblems removed),to be a "sleeper" of sorts and have the 427cid.installed,among other items. Do you remember if the tail panel was blacked out when you got it? Good for you for obtaining it back.
