A really cool piece of drag racing history, with little interest. Looks like they should have taken the $80,000 that was bid on the car at Mecum. After only reaching $23,000 last time on Ebay, this time stalled at $20,000.

Though part of the cars incredible history, the owner may want to consider taking the Dick Harrell logo off the car and not mentioning that part in the ad and see if that helps. I am guessing would be bidders are fearful of the dreaded phone call/letter from the DH camp.

Tom,

I thought it came with a Letter saying you could use the name on the car?

It may..but is such a letter really binding? And even if it is, just because one is legally in the right does not mean they cannot be harassed.

I HEAR THAT!! Amen Brother!!

Pardon my naiveté - but what is the problem if a person buys a genuine historical vehicle and displays it in its original configuration?

Nothing..Legally, as long as they do not make $$$ from it, trademark laws do not apply. Those laws govern commerce, not personal property. But the harasment can, and often times does, continue. Right Howie?

Glenn, Certian people seems to try to tell you what you can and can not do with the car. I was called by a person 3 days before I took the car to St. Louis. I was told I had to take a name off the car or their lawyer would be contacting & sueing me.
