Default Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

I FedExed notarized 'CERTIFIED TRUE COPY OF ORIGINAL' documents in color over to Valerie Harrell that establish a before/during/after ownership chronology on my 1969 DHPC Chevelle as follows:

1. May 21, 1966 - Customer Invoice and window sticker on my 1966 Chevelle SS (paid $3,361.00 new) - really t'd off my foreman at work (Ford Motor Company - Claycomo, MO)

2. Aug 19, 1969 - Customer Invoice and window sticker on my 1969 DHPC Chevelle that shows my 1966 Chevelle SS 396 as the trade in (at $1,859.15 with 105K miles - paid $2,700.00 difference) - just had to have that 69 Orange DHPC Chevelle . . .

3. Oct 19, 1970 - Customer Invoice and window sticker on my 1970 Camaro for which my 1969 DHPC Chevelle was traded in (received a whopping $2,245.95 trade in on the 69 DHPC Chevelle - still owed $1,927.83 on the 69 DHPC Chevelle to GMAC) - note, I'm not a financial genius as you may well have concluded here . . .

These original documents are unaltered and in generally good condition (subject to normal wear and tear from handling over the last 43 years)

I am hopeful that by providing these documents, DHPC will find them acceptable to enable sharing information available from their archives with me on my 1969 DHPC Chevelle!

Air cleaner had no decals, valve covers were chrome, I conclude it was/is a K plant COPO but have only the Bill Allen document to support that.

There were absolutely no SS emblems on the car - just the large size flags on the front fenders and a nondescript Dick Harrell sticker on the deck lid.

It did have the 69 SS hood with chrome 'vents' at the rear - the hood was striped black as shown in my photoshopped pictures - no stripes on the top or rear, I recall the back panel below the trunk lid was black, no SS emblem in the middle.

It had a "Malibu" trim above the glove box, the wheels were 14” SS wheels - currently has 15” RS on the car.

I will never forget clipping a highway construction barrell about 1:30AM early, early one November '69 morning while heading home - when I scrapped the LF fender, the flat spot was there (it's the OEM fender) - bumper shows signs of that encounter as well - I swerved at the last moment - didn't even knock the bbl over but it put a flat spot on the driver fender . . .
