Re: Harry Kalwie Pro 1970 Camaro
The name is spelled Harry Kalwei. I presently own this I970 Camaro and yes it is a Dick Harrell car!! I went to school with Harry and have known him for a long time. The picture in Tulsa was this cars last run on the strip. It suffered quite a bit of damage but has been repaired and is in its original configuration at this time. The car has been in storage since that time. This car started out as one of Dick Harrell's AMX class cars and when Harry had an accident and destroyed his nova which was in tow to a race, he installed the nova engine in the 70 camaro and went to Phoenix so he could keep high in his point standings for that year and continued to drive the car in in the Dick Harrell colors until Dick's unfortunate accident in 71. After that he had different sponsors and was painted blue with the Harrell white stripe down the side, the Kelsey Hayes wheels on the front and "Keep on Trackin" on the side with 4 men. It had 1 man with "Missouri Missle" written on the trunk. His main sponsor was Kool Fuel at that time. I think in the very near future you will see this car back in action in full Dick Harrell colors and Harry Kalwei will be back at the wheel!!!
