1968 Dick Harrell Chevelle's/Camaro's

Tom,
I was watching a video on the career of Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick and there was a similar "set-up" used by Pontiac Motor Division in the 1963. Pontiac needed to make a car that would be more competitve. They put a SD 421 in the lightest car in the line-up, the Tempest. They built some coupes and some wagons (the idea behind the wagons was better weight distribution).The Tempest used a transaxle instead of a conventional configuration. Somehow they made a manual 2-speed with a clutch mated to a 2-speed automatic. I will get more info and post it tomorrow.

There is a 427/450 hp 1968 Dick Harrell Camaro in Nov Hemmings. The ad states it is a 26k mile original 4sp, sun tach, fiberglass hood red/white stripe car.

The 68 Camaro is the car Kevin is looking into. The car was discussed on a previous board. I have not heard of an outcome on this car. I would like to hear about the Harrell Chevelle that is still in the original owners hands Tom...

Brian; I have not spoke to the owner of the Chevelle in awhile, but will see what I can find out. Several of my Harrell contacts are in the KC area and I hope to spend time there and visit with them. Hopefully I can take a peek at the Chevelle. Will let everyone know what I find out. Tom

Which magazine has the article of the Dick Harrell test of the #1 ZL-1? I recall it showed Fred Gibb present as well.
