Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
A couple months ago a friend of mine here in town was telling me about a car he built in the mid 60's. He was working at a small garage in St. Louis and they built a convert. chevy II. Before they got it finished someone bought the car. I showed him this pic and he swears that it is the same car. He is trying to find some more pics that he thinks he has. Small world!

Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
moparts,
It would be great to see the pics if your friend is able to locate them. As I said before, this car never performed as expected and from what I know it was retired after only 1-season. From what I've seen, pics seem to be pretty scarce of this car. I'll look for some other magazine articles I have of this car and try and get them posted here in the near future. Tim "Hotrodchev"

Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
The Chevy II roadster funny is the car that was parked in front of Dick's shop in Granite City, just outside of East St. Louis, when Herb Fox first met Dick. This was the summer of 1967. Dick had his '67 Yenko sponsored Camaro funnycar in early August at Beardstown, when he first came to LaHarpe. I know he had the Camaro at the first UDRA meet on June 13, 1967, so it seems he had both during the late spring and summer of 1967, but not the end of the summer.

Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
Tim,
Who was that Nice Lady telling you that she towed your Funny Car back and forth from the race track at least 150 times? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
No Tim, she said at least 150 times. Yes,it was a neat Reunion and don't know, even as optomistic as I have been known to be that I could have appreciated the drama unless I had been there to witness it first hand.
Tell us more about the story, I didn't want to intrude on the moment.
