Hey....I caught the remark from SS427 about Howie's tying down the car next time he decides to work on her...not a bad idea especially after not one but two incidences of that car literally running away with him and the resulting damage to Kim's body...what do ya think of a new nick name for Mr Howie....Shortcake, as in "Strawberry" Shortcake comes to mind...........

Not so sorry Kim as I more than owed you one!

Hey man, that's just the way it is. The car was badass and still is badass. Thanks to guys like you helping the Harrell name get its due. We have been lucky enough to have had 4 Harrell cars pass through our shop and every one is unique. Having the real cars and trying your best to preserve that history is fantastic. It's wonderful to share the DH cars with people. If you don't get that, I cannot help you.

Here is a vintage pic of the Jim Little car that Kim has now. It looks to be more red in the picture than the purple shade it is painted now.
And FYI Brian, The Dick Harrell name needs no one's help to get it's due. The name DICK HARRELL is greatly respected both then and now. The accomplishments that Dick had in his short life more than speak for themselves, and Dick's legacy will outlive all those on these boards.
It is good that you are helping to preserve the cars though.

Bill, The jack stand is a inside joke that Tom and I have about pictures of cars years ago. Bill Where did get that last picture of my car. I would love to buy it, if you have it. Kim http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

sYc
01-14-2005, 06:06 PM
Bill, nice picture, but that is when is was being ran by Jim Little, not Fred Gibb. In conversations with Kim, who has done a TON of research on the car, including removing old paint layer by later, there is a good possiblilty that the car was repainted after Fred bought the car, done to remove Jim Little from the rear quarters and Stott from the front fenders. Regardless of color, a part of racing history and a BAD ASS car.

The goal of the sYc is to preserve and promote the supercars, which includes the builders and tuners of those cars. Dick did accomplish a lot in his brief career, but until a few years ago, had kind of been forgotten. But because of such folks as Brian and Kim, the sYc has been able to help get Dick get the recoginition he deserves. This effort was jump started when the special guests at SCR3 were Valerie Harrell and her son Michael.

As per the jack stands remark, you needed to have been at the banquet during SCR6 to fully understand that, as Kim and Joel "Mr. Motion" Rosen had a interesting discussion about this.

Belair62
01-14-2005, 07:08 PM
Bill you should re-read BKH's post....bringing back cars is pretty damn respectable if you ask me.Especially significant race cars. If the color is not exactly the way you think it should be...thats your issue. No need to dis the car. The whole jackstand issue sounds kind of like the whole Mr Helen thing from a while back. You had to be there to get it I guess.

Kim I also saw the car at SCR7 and I thought it was cool! Really can't wait to hear it run. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Just out of curiosity why is the car more of a purple than red? Was that the original color of the car?

Does anyone know where Stott Chevrolet is?
There is a Stott dealership in Tryon NC is a Ford dealer now was a Chevrolet dealer in the Early 70's My brother's 73 Z-28 was bought new there.
Howie emailed me and said that his car was originally sent to a Chevrolet dealer in Greenville SC. and I was wondering if maybe it was transferred to the dealership in Tryon(30 miles away)

Frank I will try to explained how this color was used. I found four areas on this car with this color. The trunk lid under the spoiler both bottoms of the rocker and the the area between the trunk lid and rear glass atth. photo of trunk lid. I masked this off, and this paint is still on the trunk lid today.

There is where I came up with the color. This what I went with. I also talked to Herb Fox about the color and he said the car was very close.

Would be neat to see a large collection of the Harrell cars. I know Dave Libby must have had a flashback to the late 60's when he saw Swezey's 69 Camaro, Tom's 68 F/C and both the 70 Harrell Camaros displayed by Kim and LV. I know I talked with Libby for a few hours about the 68 Harrell Chevelle that LV brought to the show and learned sime neat stuff about it. Cant wait to see next years turn out. can only get bigger and better. Would be hard to beat anywhere else thats for sure!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
