Interesting? I would say awesome! Cars like this make me wish I had money to buy them. I can only hope that one day I'll have the money to pursue awesome cars like this.

And don't give me the 'ol line about working hard, and someday you'll have the money; It doesn't work that way . . . I've discussed this with my Sociology teacher numerous times. The rich are forever rich, and the poor keep getting poorer. That's the way our economic system is designed. That's not to say that I'm poor, but I definitely couldn't afford a car of that caliber.

Maybe if it was through someone's good graces . . .

What's with all the Dick Harrell cars popping up lately? Possibly a 1969 Camaro, and now the Nova . . .

It's a Dick Harrell revolution!!

Some better pics of those tough to find parts would help, and a pic of the cert.

Hmmm, Sociology Prof's - surely have their finger on the pulse of national economics Shouldn't they be studying the negative effects of clothing on pigmys or something?

Indeed, studying the negative effects of clothing on pigmys would be interesting, but then you would have to take in to account numerous variables, such as what each of the pigmys' thoughts would be about each of the other pigmy's clothes. Confusing! Our world is based on peoples perceptions of others. See, I am learning something in college!

Well, time for another cold one!

Skierkaj,

First, you will never get anywhere in life waiting for someone's good graces . . . that someone is you, but you will figure that out later in life.

Secondly, an owner who bought one of our 427 ZL1 Camaros, told me that he is just a poor old cattle farmer who didn't have enough money 5 years ago to even buy the magazine that our Camaros have been written in, and today he bought a $92,000.00 ZL1 Supercar and has 10 other showcars. He told me that he found a way to make money from the rich . . . that is what life is all about if you want more money.

Third, I'll bet half of the collectors here did not have money when they grew up. I know a lot of them and they made their money, and did not inherit it. If you wait for something to happen, then it probably wont. If you want to win the lottery, you have to play it. If you want to be rich, you have to play at it. And the harder you play, the better you will be rewarded. Some find an easy way to make money, others dig a little harder. It is out there, but DO NOT have that attitude, or you will probably never get richer or have the cars you are dreaming of . . . and for your Sociology teacher, he or she sounds like one of those that is still waiting for the system to change so they can have more money given to them. That person may be content with being a college teacher, but I see that you have bigger ambitions in life. Dont let people like that bring you down. My parents preached to me the same thing about the harger you work the higher the rewards . . . it worked for me and it will for you . . . but it will not fall into your lap . . . Now take that Motion clone car and change it to a Dick Harrell clone car and make more money . . .

I'm always open to everyone's opinion.

As for a Dick Harrell clone, Harrell and Gibb modified Camaros in 67 right? The reason I ask is that I'm looking at a first gen. as we speak. It's in Milwaukee, close to home, and I'm trying to work a deal with the owner (even trade), and I'll probably get a firebird in the process. Check out the thread in this section-- I found the first gen. camaro I wanted!

Maybe a Harrell Clone for that thing? It appears to be in pretty good shape, but there's no pics of the rear quarters, or the panel underneath the rear window. It's a deal either way. . . a 1967 Camaro and a 1968 Firebird for $6000! Hopefully the guy will trade for my Camaro . . . he says the reason he's selling is that he has no room. I don't know, we'll see how it goes.

Spoken like a true entrepreneur, Matt!!!

Skierkaj, you should try to get the SCR 7. Most of the guys you'll talk to are self made men that are their own bosses. They've come up with ways to be successful (and not just money) in a whole variety of ways. The thing that is common to them all is that they take the kind of risks Matt describes. I find it very refreshing to hang out with all these entrepreneurs -- it's a great change from all the very conservative, over-educated corporate hacks like me, my colleagues and most of my clients.

Now if I could just afford my own Gibb Nova (Fathom Blue of course...)

Well, I guess my mother really is the Queen of England. Just goes to show you that anything can happen. Good luck to the person who ends up with it.

Auction is over. So is he really going to relist it with better information or did someone make a deal behind the scenes again? Inquiring minds want to know!
