Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

[JChlupsa]

Nice write up in the Dec 1989 Car Craft Mag on the #1 ZL1 with a centerfold pic of it. Esp like the valve covers stamped Offenhauser with the Dick Harrell cast emblems on them. Just wondering were the DH emblems cast into the covers or where they attached with fastners.

copo9566aa and others,

I have a pic of the 69 car, lower photo that JoeC posted above. It reads "Super John" on the rear 1/4's with the Dick Harrell crest on the door. I am not sure which car this is, or if it is a ZL1. Anyone care to comment? My file of the pic is too big to attach.

Here is a pic of a Dick Harrell sponsored car, driver was "Super John", same car as JoeC posted above. The wheels are the "Bad Ones" made by Kelsey Hayes. Dick and Fred agreed to put them on their cars in 1970 for a Kelsey Hayes marketing program.

The above is the Gibb/Harrell GT-2 racer that was raced along with Kim's 70ZL1 ProStock in 1970. I have a pic of it in an advertisement. I'll try and find it and post. This is one of the cars that needs to be found and brought back to life. I know very little about it at this time, and have just started researching it.

I found an old classified ads in a old magazine dated July 1973,with a Dick Harrell 70 Camaro for sale by John.B
("Super John" 70 Camaro ???)

I found another article with a GT2 1967 Harrell/Dunlap Camaro
in HP-Cars Sept 1971
"Cool info" about Dick Harrell car lettering
(Katy Neff of Kansas
City did the expert lettering. Now,
many of you may be wondering if
Katy is a girl, and let us tell you that
she most definitely is. This very
talented, young lady has done the let-
tering for several years on some of
the prettiest cars in the country, in-
cluding all of Dick Harrell's cars ) [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Wow... you guys really have an interesting thread going here! Whaddya say we keep it going and add another photo for discussion! Here's a rare photo of Dick Harrell's short lived Chevy II at Minnesota Dragways in 1968. Based on what I've read, Harrell had high hopes for this machine but it never performed as expected, so it was raced only a short time before it was retired. Anybody care to comment or add any further information about this car? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
