Dick Harrell, Super John '69 Camaro

[Salvatore]

Wasn't this car a N.Y.C. street racer at one time?

I am not sure about that Sam.

My original posting of summer of '69 was incorrect. I rechecked the date on the slide - this was developed in June '70 and would have been taken shortly before that.
From what I remember this car had just been purchased by one of the guys wrenching on it and they were having a hell of a time getting a full pass out of it. They were out of Brooklyn and it used to make the show at 150th st and the Conduit by JFK.

Neat picture Glenn.

That would have maybe been Brooklyn Heavy.

Kim, what became of the Leatherman car then? I know it was rolled on the track in 1969, I thought it became a customer car after being rebuilt with a different body unit? Is the Leatherman's car vin or production sequence known? I'll have to check Hooper's '69 reference book again, I thought I saw a copy of the inspection record in the section on documentation for their car. The owner is listed as DHPC?

I thought this car was first a NY street racer and then a full time drag car. I don't remember Heavy with this car though.

I thought Heavy was more of a Mopar man...and what was ever the result w/ his winged car on eBay last year?.

Here's a great site from the darker side of racing, no racial jokes intended...it's real..

I would say a Chevy man but got into Mopars a little later with Sox and Martin and Carmen Rotunda. He had many avenues.
