Anyone know of a Fathom Blue '68 DICK HARRELL Chevelle?

[JoeC]

According to the classicnovas.net Harrell had some type of arrangement with Courtesy Chevrolet for racing sponsorship and a dealer network. The Courtesy Chevrolet name was on some of the Funny Cars. This is a quote from the nova site "The Chevrolet Dealer Network he (Harrell) established in the state of CA included the Courtesy Chevrolet dealers of Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and Thousand Oaks. Another CA Dealer was Crawford Chevrolet of Ventura, CA. Locations of others were Burt Chevrolet of Englewood, CO, Riley Chevrolet of Jefferson City, MO, Bill Allen Chevrolet of Kansas City, MO, Fred Gibb Chevrolet of LaHarpe, IL, and Courtesy Chevrolet of Phoenix, AZ."

The Courtesy Chevrolet name is still be in buisness and has a web site at

I to am just trying to help since I live in the area. I am not interested in trying to take something out from under you. I love this site and these cars. The people here are very knowledgeable and care about authenticity of these automobiles. Anyway I couldnÃt afford the price tag even if I did find it. I understand your hesitation though, one cant be to careful.

Relax bowtie gang, this site is about sharing info - including VIN numbers - and helping each other with their info requests, verifications, ect.. You would be surprised how many of us were into these specialty cars as early as the mid '80's. I've been looking for a particular car in the KC area for a few years now, I know the frustration with the privacy act and the various DMV's. Were just here to help!!

marlin,

I'm relaxed.

Post the VIN of the car YOU'RE looking for (in the KC area), maybe I can help if I have the VIN

THEN ponder the following....


Just because all of you guys that post on this board might be "good guys" and "wouldn't take something out from under me".... well Ya don't HAVE to be signed in/on as a participant or member of this site to VIEW things.

There might be a troll or two (or a few hundred) who come to this site and just browse around just for the heck of it or because they truly are interested in these cars.

Some of THEM just might not be "goog guys" and would JUMP at the chance to have the VIN of a "missing in action" Dick Harrell car, a COPO car, or a YENKO Deuce... or something else.

Now let's see all of your VINs!!!

Just to add to the list of "Dick Harrell" dealers, I have an ad listing Francis Chevrolet, of St. Louis, MO, dated 4/12/68.
BTW: Herb Fox mentioned to me the place he met Dick Harrell was at a small shop in East St. Louis, MO, in summer of 1967. Anyone know what shop this would be?

You don't sound too relaxed bowtie!! I understand a 'put up or shut up' post, so here it is.

The last '70 Yenko Deuce produced was a Cranberry Red, automatic transmission, with power steering car. This car was sold by Yenko Chevrolet to Capital Chevrolet in Montgomery, Alabama around 8/20/70, and was asigned Yenko stock number YS-145. The VIN number is 114270W368916. Camarojoe has some documentation from Capital Chev. that was sent to an interested customer in Sept. of 70 referencing this very car. This car was then involved in either a flood, wreck or theft, and was totalled. The car was most likely sold at auction in Alabama, and was purchased on 2/16/73 by a company called Underwriters Sales Corp in Kansas City, MO. The car had an 'F' title, which leads me to believe that it was a Flood that totalled it. Underwriters sold the car on 10/04/74 with a 'U' title, probably as a Used car. It is not known where this car ended up, but Underwriters is now selling mattresses after getting out of the used car business about 5 years ago. I have checked all surrounding states, all the way to Oklahoma, but have turned up nothing.

Your turn bowtie!!
