1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars - Page 7

Dammit...I told myself and a few others that I wouldn't post on this topic...but I'm going to anyways...contrary to my own better judgement.

First of all, I really don't care one way or the other whether or not Tom has the DH funny car...it's just a MATERIAL thing. There are WAY more important things in life to be concerned with...and focusing all ones energy on negative things is idiotic.

Secondly, I have made a lot of friends on this site...and that's why I keep coming back every day to check in...These guys are my "extended family" across these great United States

They are the reason that I come back every day.

Thirdly...from what I've read on the other sites...I don't know how I can be a member of this site...as I'm not one of their so called "members of the flock...who has a super car...and has the secret handshake or whatever" I'm just a guy who happened to stumble onto a cool site and talk shop with a bunch of cool people. Sure, I like to post pictures from Pavillions and other car shows...and I hope that every one likes them...that's why I do it.

I do check the other sites heck I even signed up on the DH site this past March...though I've never posted there. There's some cool information there and on other sites, too.

The one thing that I like about this site is that when BS starts to happen...the mods nip it in the bud right away...I'm not saying that it doesn't happen here...but there's alot less of it happening now...Why? It serves no useful purpose...

Like a person on the other site said today...it's amazing what's said online...when people get behind the protection of their computers. Funny, I said that to a few members of this site via PM the other day.

I look forward to seeing everyone at Barrett Jackson which is coming up really quickly!

I guess I write this both alittle PO'd and alittle in awe with this whole topic. You guys have demonstrate at least to me you could care less about serious research and the "truth" whatever path it takes with this car...

This car was bought as THE DH car, it will always be THE DH car, not because research or serious study said it is...but because some guy wrote on a piece of paper it is and someone bought it that way and happens to be your buddy and the owner of this website..and you guys think that is enough and that warrants a 100% definitve statement that it is THE 1968 DH funnycar..no matter what credible evidence there might be out there casting doubt..So it really never matters as it is THE 1968 DH car..just because it is

I wonder if by your post and your attitudes about seriosu research you thought far enough to see the potential ramifcations... You guys just opened up a qaugmire with respect to ANY Chevrolet "supercar" where a VIN isn't known to be historical fact..everything really except ZL1's....your COPO's, SSL78's, Z's as now all it takes is a "it must be one because I bought it that way" or "someone said it was" and as long as it looks relatively close to what that particular car should how can you say it isn't...After all if you will validate with 100% certainity such a historical piece as the DH FC with the same info and no real research then a relatively common Z or a COPO is a piece of cake...You guys did it now live with it..

Greg, All I said is that I don't care whether it is or it isn't. There are WAY more important things in life to worry about...at least for me.

I've read all of the posts on both of the sites...and most of the posts deal with negative comments that have nothing to do with the subject at hand...par for the course.

Will anyone ever be 100% sure of what the car is or isn't? I don't think so...as I don't think that you're a FC expert...and I am certainly not, nor ever will be. One thing is for sure...

Whatever you say Greg...you really come up with some doozies sometimes. It's like from Mars or something.

Doing two more shots here...

I agree with Charley. He actually makes the most sense of this whole thing.

Greg, I understand your desire to make this clear cut. As an objective observer that last post actually offends me and I have NO intrest in the DH FC other than its cool. But to slam ALL of us because of this issue is WAY not cool.
