His wife is making him sell it. I think she is crazy, but I guess he doesn't want to move out in the dog house just yet. Ohh well, its still a cool car and some other lucky person will be happy with it!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

I just spoke with the owner, he ended the listing as someone contacted him wanting payment for the rights to use the Harrell name in the auction in association with the car. WTF? cant sell a used race car that was associated with someone without paying rights to the name? Someone move me to Moscow while I was sleeping? Any thoughts on this guys?

I understand the spirit of the complaint, but heck...it's one car and history needs the description to remain attached to the car [presuming it's authentic].

JMO...

I'm confused too. On the Harrell site, Dale Pulde stated that it was a car that Dick drove, and, then Kirby took it over, ran it with the Dick Harrell name on it, BUT, that it was never an original Dick Harrell car. Can anyone shed some light on this? I guess he means that even though it was raced by Harrell, and, had his name on it, that it was not OWNED by Harrell. Still a neat piece of Harrell history.

You will notice Bill Porterfields 02 ZL1 no Longer says Dick Harrell on the side. I'm not sure if his 69 still has it or not..Kinda Sad....
