Welcome aboard Joe!

Glad to see another DH Camaro surfacing. I had heard it was out there but was unsuccessful locating you or the car after numerous attempts while trying to document Steve Sandlin's DH Camaro. I did finally find you on the DH web site but at that point the car was already home and confirmed. Please enjoy the site and tell us some stories.

Sorry, I dont have many pictures of the car. Maybe someone has pictures they could share of this car. There was a posting of a black and white photo with 4 of Dick Harrell's cars with his semi-trailor in the background and two Camaro's. The picture is at a distance but think the second from the left is the one that Harold drove at the time. It had a dark bronze plexiglas scoup on the hood that faced backward. I think it was on the Dick Harrell drag car thread and about the 19 or 20th page.

I think that you are right. Since Kool Fuel was his sponsor and produced traction bars he changed the slogan to "Keep on Trackin".

I will post a couple more pics. This is one that I scanned of a Kool-Fuel handout. It didn't come out very good. This is the way that Harry left the line, about 2' of air under the front tires!!

This is a picture with the blue and white paint stripped and in primer. This is the way it is today. (I am downsizing these pictures so they will upload.)

This is another picture in primer.

Joe,

Welcome aboard this site. I had always hoped that some of the fellows that were there with Dick would join Val's son's site, and this site. Harry's car was first a GT2 class car. It was sponsored by Fred Gibb, and was in similar paint as Kim Howies car will be (the '70 Gibb/Harrell 427 CanAm motored SS car). I have a couple of shots and an article about it and I will try and post in the next couple of days. Here is a shot when it was first a GT2 car.

are these the same wheels that are on the car in your post?

John,
They are the same wheels. Do you have any of these wheels? I am looking for one or a pair of 15" x 4" that will fit the front of a 70 1/2 Camaro.
Thanks
Joe

This picture didn't upload completely, so I will try to upload it again. This is the one that I scanned off the Kool-Fuel flier.
