I would like to start a new thread on this car,being that it was in the wrong place to begin with.I would first like to say thanks to Ron Bentz for locating the car.About the finders fee,as rick stated, I had every intention of paying ron for services rendered. I had brought the money with me in cash,when we were picking up the car. It was my understanding ron was to be there.The owner even thought so because he had wondered were he was because ron had stopped by the previous saturday and said he would be there to help load the car. Rick N. had told me before the purchase that ron was to be paid the finders fee which i had no promblem with.When he was not there i figured we would catch up later. I did not want to mail cash,Anyway to make a long story short,the check is in the mail,I apologize to ron, as there was never any intent to screw anyone out of a finders fee, i do not think the friendship between rick and ron should end over a car! Now with that being said a little info on the car, 1970 Dick harrell ls6 camaro,green w/grn interior,5800 original miles,original paint,car was sitting since 1974,started on a regular basis,no rust,beautiful underneath shows all red oxide primer,still talking with previous owners on all relevant info. I would also like to thank Rick N. for researching the car and finding out more about it.Now,i will let Rick post pics of car and more info. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Chad,

My personal congratulations to you and Rick, as well as my thanks for all the work to bring this car back in the public's eye. Rick sent me a couple of pictures this morning and the car is in amazing condition. I'm really looking forward to seeing her up close and personal later this month. If there's anything we can do, please let us know.

Thanks for the many kind words via e-mails and PM's that I have received today. We are very excited about the car to say the least. I had heard about this car several years ago both in rumor and also when the original newspaper add was posted on site. I let it lie for some time and then started tracking it again over a year ago. When Ron joined sYc, he was asking several restoration questions which I took the time to answer both on and off line. After several months, I felt as though I could confide in Ron and see if he knew about the car. He remebered as a kid and after making a few inquiries, he was able to locate the original owner.

It took nine months of phone calls, e-mails and kissing some major butt to determine that this in fact was the real deal. The car was sold new at Van's Chevrolet. It has gone through a total of 4 owners up to now. The car was raced for the first two years and when purchased in 1973 by the last owner, it was relinquished to see street duty. The owner then went to Viet Nam. Upon his return, the car was never driven on the street again and was located in the garage where it had sat for 30 plus years. The owner took very good care of the car and started it frequently. Outside of a major bath, tune-up and buffing, the car needed very little and retained most of it's original parts.

Dennis Hartweg was instrumental in providing me with contacts and information prior to his untimely passing. Since then Annie has graciously and tirelessly taken over from there. Thanks also to Ken Boje for his help. Others have unknowingly helped as well but I was not able to disclose my reasons for asking the questions at the time.

I will provide some photos to show how the car was found. The Pro Stock hood has now been replaced with the stock hood which is painted like the nose. This hood has been wrapped up for 30 plus years in blankets. With the purchase of the car, we were also given several original dated photographs showing the car. We are being told that more are being obtained from other owners as well. I am now in the process of contacting all the previous owners.

The car will be on display at the reunion this year and am looking forward to displaying it with other Harrell cars. We hope people enjoy it as much as we do and we also hope this car can partake in the continuing research into Dick Harrell's life and his cars. This example is an unrestored 5800 mile car so most all original decals, emblems, inspection marks, etc are all visible.

Body shots

Joe, the car started life as an SS350. It was then converted to an LS6 with a CY coded Turbo 400. So far, it appears as though it was delivered with a 3:08 rear though those gear were replaced with steeper gears later on.

Frank, due to poor lighting, these are the only two "as found" photos I took. Keep in mind, he kept the car cleaned up and covered, he just never drove it.

Chad has the vintage photos and will have to post them if he can access a scanner. They are of the car pulling a wheel stand. Very neat even though they appear to be staged.

Neat pictures!

Are those pics of when you found/looked at the car for the first time?

SS427
08-13-2003, 09:07 PM
Allen,
Those pictures were taken the day the car was picked up. The first time I looked at the car it was in that same garage with a car cover on it and just freshly washed.

As far as production numbers go, I had heard rumors for years that there were 3 1970 DH street Camaros and 3 DH Race Camaros built. I however have no idea and that is what Chad and I are currently researching to find out. I have spoken to many knowledgable Harrell people but could not come up with any definitive answers before Chad bought the car.

Thank you bbdon and Denis for redoing those photos. Amazing how much you can see.

Chad was not wearing a plaid coat but rather a flannel shirt as it was raining quite heavily and unfortunately for me, he did come with the car. If you think that was funny, I came unprepared and was wearing Chads hooded sweatshirt. (Chad 285 lbs, Rick 155 lbs), you get the picture. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

08-14-2003, 03:06 AM
Joe,
I must also give the last owner credit. Based on the garage it was stored in and considering it was the lowest part of his yard, I expected the car to be a rust bucket even with only 5800 miles. The owner claims that he started the car monthly and kept it clean the whole time he owned it. He did however emphasize that the car had not seen the street since 1973-74. He told me that once he returned from Nam, he lost interest in the car. He was not holding out, just never got around to try and sell it.

You won't believe the undercarriage of this car. I have never seen Red Oxide primer with green overspray that is this well preserved.
Rick

Mr70
08-14-2003, 03:14 AM
Did he have a moisture barrier down on the floor?
I see in that picture a cement floor,just higher then the puddle outside,were any of the bare metal parts top rusted,or oxidized too?
Is the paint faded in certain areas from those windows in the garage?After 30 years that can add up.
How about rubber parts or tires dry rotted,or critter damage.
If this was it's home since 1973 is why I ask this.
I am not demeaning the car in ayway,I am just in awe of its current pictures,and then to see it's storage facility.
Again incredible! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

SS427
08-14-2003, 03:31 AM
Rick,
I never saw any moisture barrier or any protection what so ever other than a car cover. There was evidence of mice but they had only accumulated about a fist full of padding. No other damage. There was slight surface rust on bare steel parts such as the driveshaft, rear axle, spindles, bolt heads, etc and some oxidation on the fuel/brake lines and the grey phosphated parts. He did make a statement to me that because of all the attention the car recently got that if someone did not buy it that he would move it to another storage area. I almost want to believe that is where he had been keeping the car all along anyway but NO ONE I talked to had EVER seen this car on the streets in the last 30 years. We found little signs of paint fading and only a couple of spider cracked areas. Very little tire damage to the 70's vintage tires either. Go figure? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Congrat's on the new 70'Harrell find. The car will look very cool next to Joe's 68's unrestored Harrell Chevelle and his fresh 69' Harrell Camaro. I understand the feeling of finding a rare un-restored survivor. Gives you goose bumps. Love the survivor cars.

Absofreakenlutely Amazing!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Congrats Nick/Chad and kudos to Ron for being able to track down the lead so accurately. I still can't believe that that car was under 30 miles from me for the past 10 years...and, knowing what a 70-73 freak I am, that I couldn't actually 'smell' it there. Please PM me and tell me that it sold for over 15K because suicide is going to put a damper on the weekend...and that's all I think I could muster. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I said it once already but I'll say it on more time. What an AWESOME Camaro! Chad, you and I share the enjoyment of being new Camaro owners! A few questions:

1. I am surprised the the intake is not a tunnel ram set up or a high rise unit. The hood scope sure looks ike one could fit under there! Is that the original unit?
2. I was just wondering if the side view mirror had a Chevy emblem on it?

Thanks Chad!
GREAT CAR!

Here are some more photos after most of the clean up work has been completed. Several days have been spent removing a small family (dead) in the car, 30 years of grime off the undercarriage and engine compartment. Chad and I agree, it is better he own it as I would have a very hard time not doing a complete restoration on the car. Thanks to Ron for supplying some original Power Beam headlights today to replace the darkening originals.

Dennis,
First off, thanks publically for the sign. I did not expect it to look ANYTHING like that! I had hoped for a sign and got the sign, the pexi cover, the aluminum frame and a tripod (Thanks Anne!) to boot. Very nice.

As far as the #6 tube, so far going all the way back to the 2nd owner, no one has fessed up to doing it so maybe Dick's guys did it??? It is a heat riser tube for the choke coil. Sort of a crude way of doing it but it works. The air runs from the air horn on the carb, around the header and into the choke coil. I am not sure why they used an OE 3310 instead of the LS6 4492 carb which has provisions for the intake heat riser choke but that is what my research has shown so far.

Sam, as far as your response.........that would be an understatement!
Rick N.

ORIGLS6
09-04-2003, 11:05 PM
Now I'm curious to see under the air cleaner. I guessed it was something to do with a heat riser/choke set-up but the two lines running under the AC had me scratching my head. Any pix??? Pretty unique rigging /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif on a very cool car.

And for the record......My pleasure!

55chevy
09-05-2003, 06:56 PM
That is a very cool unique car. I would have loved to seen it run down the track. I oogled over that Harrell car numerous times that weekend. So how long was the car sitting and how does it run today? I watched it run good enough to put down about 30 feet of wide tires leaving the show parking lot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

SS427
09-06-2003, 03:09 AM
I know I took pictures of the carb with the air cleaner off but I cannot find them in my stack. The car is not very accessable at the moment so I will get them for you later or possibly at VetteFest.

We would have loved to have run the car at the strip but after having sat for 30 years, we want to make sure the engine is sound before that happens. The plan was to have made a mild pass at SCR06 but with the bad weather and short race time, we opted to let the racers run and do it another time. The engine runs 100% better now then when we brought it home. It was pretty sick until it got loosened up, a major tune up, carb overhaul, new fluids, etc. Big blocks like to drop valves when they have not been run regularly and that is not a good thing so we need to make sure everything is sound first. The past owner said the car was a slug and ran in the mid 15's. I think he was missing something as it has a lot more there than that and the valve covers haven't even been off yet! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

I have a couple of questions.
Who/where was the original selling dealer?
Who is the actual owner of this car? I assume it is the fellow I talked to at the reunion about this car and asked him to e-mail me. In any event would he do so at his convenience?

09-09-2003, 12:14 AM
Dave,
Chad's computer is sick so if you don't mind me answering.........

the original selling dealer from what we have come up with was Van's Chevrolet who was just down the road from Harrell's shop. At this point in time, we do not know the sequence of events surrounding the original purchase as we have not located the original owners name yet.

Chad is the rightful owner of the car. You talked with both of us after the banquet. Chad was the big guy, I was the smaller one, sort of like in the movie "Twins". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Sorry we did not get back to you. I will PM you.

Just picked up the original tires and wheels from the original owner,also had pictures of the car from 1971 parked next to a yenko camaro and a 1970 z28,the tires have 2000 miles on them and they were replaced because they did not hookup well to the ls6!

Put on the Strippers Chad. Somebody's got to do it first. Remember we have a few sets too! Besides, that is the funky total 70's look...BKH /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Those K-H Strippers are sweet! Those would be on in a heartbeat if they were in my garage....Total period look for a DH Camaro and a big sponsor as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

You found the original owner, and he still had the original tires & wheels /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif This story just keeps getting better!! Absolutely amazing. Hope to see you at Vette Fest.

Bill,
Actually that part of the puzzle is missing. We have gotten as far back as the second owner who owned the car from very early on and drag raced it. He had several original photos of the car as well parked next to a race prepped '69 Yenko Camaro. Hopefully we will have those photos by VF. Look forward to seeing you once again this year.
Rick
