Re: Dick Harrell 69 Camaro
 

Love, love seeing the car driven in the snow like it was back then. I believe those traction bars are a tell tale sign that car came from Harrell's Shop. I believe his original ZL-1 car had those on early in its career. They just look familiar. With those pictures and those mods to the car, I would say you are really on to something!

Those are fantastic pics! Thank you for sharing those:).

Re: Dick Harrell 69 Camaro
 

Well I'm glad you all liked the pictures. I'm still hopeful that I'll have more sent to me. Hopefully it won't take as long as it took me to get these.

I couldn't believe that he drove it in the snow. Apparently it was a very tough car. With the 4.56 gears and all the power it had I imagine it would have been a real handful.
I've asked if he can remember anything else about the car, or any stories from when he had it. If he does I'll pass them on.

I'm hopeful someone out there still has it and these pics can be of some use to them. At the very least it's cool to see some pics of one from back in the day in its every day setting.

You know he didn't even know that the car was anything special until I told him. He hasn't been into cars since the 80's and doesn't even own one now. He had absolutely no idea what these cars could be worth these days!

Great pics and history. Very Kool Camaro.

Were the 1/4 gills added or did it come that way?

Re: Dick Harrell 69 Camaro
 

I asked him about the 1/4 gills and he said that he's pretty sure that they come on the car as he can't remember adding them.

Outstanding!!! Having restored many DH prepared cars, its always great to see more vintage pictures...BKH

Re: Dick Harrell 69 Camaro
 

I was always curious when the switch from the trophy style Built by Dick Harrell plaques to the metal medallion was made. My best guess is @ May of 1969. The January 69' SS 427 transplant cars used the plaques, and the June COPO DH cars used the medallions....BKH

Re: Dick Harrell 69 Camaro
 

Awesome pics. Surprised there are not some studded snow tires on the car in those pics with the snow on the ground.

They produced quite a show at night out on the highway...

Re: Dick Harrell 69 Camaro
 

interesting. my DH Nova was sold by Harry May in May 69 and has the plaques which supports your comment

Hopefully he can find his documentation, or at the very least more pictures. He knows there were more, whether or not he has them anymore is another story.

Another thing. He said that a few months ago someone had contacted him out of the blue about the car after talking to his brother about it. Apparently the guy thought that he had his old car. I'm not sure of what information was passed on between them but maybe the guy is a member here or someone knows of him and he can see these pictures which I'm sure he would love. </div></div>

Yeah, you gotta follow up on all that - this is like Roger D deja vu. Very, very cool pics. Thank you for posting.
