Not sure Jeff, but may have seen the match box run at Springfield-Ozark Dragway back about that time? I do remember a couple of these running, just not sure? Don't remember the Camaro that Mike drove, but I do notice it is an AHRA car, which was the sanctioning body that Dick Harrell was heavily involved with until his death in 71. The A/HR designation was reserved for heavily modified cars with a minimum of 7lbs. per cubic inch.

Those are three very cool cars.

The 1967 Camaro in the pics was one of the Original "Nickey" Camaros built as a dedicated Drag car, by Dick Harrell himself, when he was working with Nickey Chevrolet.

Mike Garfinkel stopped by the Fall 2007 Chevy Vette Fest to visit with us. He had some very interesting stories about Dick and the Nickey Camaros and actually helped place an accurate time line when Dick Left Nickey to Team up with Don Yenko.

[Stefano]

There is also another "Nickey" Camaro which was built by Dick Harrell and Guy Tipton at Nickey, as a dedicated race car/Super Stock.

It was the same color, same wheel combo, same engine set up, same special race only traction bars, same stinger style glass hood without the pointed Stinger under the Scoop. ect ect.

There is a picture of all three players at Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago inbetween two street versions of the Nickey Camaros with Bill Hielscher, Mike Garfinkel and Dick Harrell. Hielscher's Camaro was called Mr. Bardahl II.

Larry Dubuque the second owner of my old 67 Yenko. Who lives in St.Louis area said he painted the 66 no top Nova. Said Dick wanted him to work for him, but never did. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Chevy454]

A guy here in town that lived in St. Louis for years & years said he did he helped build the tin work or something on the no top Nova...

[Stefano]

That's Cool...... Guy Tipton from Texas, an associate of Bill Hielscher and Dick Harrell, was put on the Nickey payroll to help Dick build some of the race cars including the two Super Stock Camaros discussed above.

Awesome article.
Do you know what issue of "Drag Strip" it's out of?
And do know of any vintage video dealers that might
have footage of any of these cars?Or any other Dick
Harrell or Yenko cars?
