Anyone know what happened to the 70 El Camino or Nova that were converted from 350's to LS6's ???
From what I've seen reported in the past,the Elco was destroyed soon after it's conversion.

At home. If I recall it is the April 1970 Car Craft. I have the article in my DH Camaro folder at home.

I think Dick had a contract or something with Carter in those days. He was their promo man. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Yep, I know of two life-sized cardboard advertising pieces in someone's basement. (Mr. Chevrolet holding the Carter Thermo-quad carb.) Carter was one of Dick's biggest sponsors.
I'll bet there are a few members here that have them also................... or wish they did! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Neat article!! It states that Kelsey Hayes wheels are on the Nova, does anyone have A better shot of those type wheels? Are those spring clamps the same type that Harrells shop used on the 68 ChevyII's? Thanks for posting it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Your eyes are fine, good catch.
Buried in the article it says: "the addition of Harrell's own brand of deck spoiler."

Those wheels are Kelsey Hayes "Strippers"... its a 20 spoke wheel that was used on a fair amount of Dick's cars. There were two types, Strippers and Satin Strippers. Satin Strippers had a black casting finish while regular Strippers were grey (ish) silver or gold. They came in 3 sizes... 15x7 are very tough to find, 15x6 are most commonly sold and 15x4 are pretty tough too.

Here is a shot of my Camaro... 15x6's on all 4 corners...

This is from his old DH Camaro... note the correct exposed lip of the wheel:

A set of 3 claimed to be NOS Strippers just sold on ebay for $300. I have a list of the current prices. I know a member here was (or is) selling a complete mint set for around a $1000.
