Rick, I could not agree with you more, the cars should stand on their own merits and not be judged by who happens to own them. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Ever have someone beat on your car with her fist because she dislikes you? I have.

The current owner of this car has been sent a personal invitation to join us for the LS-6 Showcase at the upcoming Chevy Vettefest April 5-6.

Sure would be an awesome addition to the show and would be not only welcomed, but embraced and appreciated!

Howie has had to deal with a good deal of grief. Way more than he should have to.His car is a good example of the Gibb/Harrell connection, and an important piece of racing history. I've know him long enough to know how much he holds both of these men in high regard.
But the person , who in my humble opinion is the very best ambassador for Dick Harrell is Ray Morrison. I've known Ray for many years, and I believe no one anywhere can leave you with a better feeling about Dick H. than Ray. JMHO

If I could go back in time, and meet one of these pioneers of muscle /supercars. It would be Dick Harrell.

And I believe, even though Mr Cumby says "Howie lies", that this year at the reunion. Our friend Mr. Howie will "light the fires, and burn some tires".

In regards to the 68 , it IMO , was "technically" not a barn find . The second owner drove it to work a few times before it went to the dealer in KC . Would always anticipate it's return so i could stick my head out of the bay i was working in & privately shave my carrot when it was in the parking lot .

Fred Gibb & Dick Harrell have been my HEROS for 20 years. No matter what outside forces say or do.

Once again the Mayor hits the nail squarely on the head. And even though I hammer on Howie as hard as anyone, he's one of my best friends, and one of the truest hobbiests you'll ever meet. Ray, Kim, Mr. Barnhart and all the Gibb folks have been a treat to know, and it's a true shame that the FG/DH connection has suffered lately.
