I think that is funny how you say "NOW, if Tom decides to sell that car as an original DH car,
THEN & only THEN. should any of this BS matter." Well the car was offered to a man for the price of $235,000.00 for the car??? Now would you like to buy this car thinking it was the real thing or would you like to see the original pics and try to figure if this is the #1 car or the Dixie Twister????

Tom, if you wont just post the pictures of what your car looked like when you got it, then just tell us why. It surely was the newest flagship car to your collection and you don't have any pictures of it . . . I find that hard to believe. I'm not trying to start any shiit but since you dont want to share the pictures then tell us why the car is for sale??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

What about Tom? You forget that he may be the victim here. He has already said that the car was presented to him as an original DH car. He also said that when he purchased it, the body had already been crudely stripped with a scrapper and the fiberglass was in bad shape. Furthermore, with all the other more likey candidates we've uncovered over the past few days, why is everyone so quick to claim its the Dixie Twister? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Jeff, Thanks for the nice lead in. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif


I want to first apologize to you and everyone on here for this thing dragging on for so long. but as Charley posted, my distracters have had months to put their “case” together, I have had but a few days. But, now that I have had a little time to search for a few things, I am ready to provide some sound evidence backing up my claims.

Here is the receipt clearly showing that the seller (Mike Menter) was knowing selling me what he thought was a 1967 Dick Harrell funny car chassis and body, and that I was buying what I felt was a 1967 Dick Harrell funny car chassis and body..

I will be the first to admit that this receipt is quite crude, but this transaction was done in haste, sitting in my Suburban at a rural Aamaco gas station.

And I think the amount of money I paid for the car reflects just how certain I was that this was a DH car, when at a time (June of 2000) old racecars, unless associated with a “name” racer, were dime a dozen.

If nothing else, IMHO, this receipt clearly disputes any theory that I simply found an old race car and turned it into one of Dick’s.

Tom,

Ok there is the receipt. Now perhaps the personal attacks will stop. But on the other hand they will likely not.

One look at the other sites where the crap is posted will reveal the true agenda: Example: There is little real technical discussion of the detail photos shown here, right now there is complaining that the photos posted here for comparison are "too enlarged" and lack detail--- WTF???

Bottom line:

SYC leads in finding and locating the truth.
SYC is fair and encourages open discussion.

Tom you have taken quite a bit of bashing here for no good reason, but you have been fair about it.

WOW!
That just took me over an hour to read all of this!
I was barely a few years old when all this was alive in 67-69. I will never know!
I would like to offer my opinions only!
I dont know everything as it comes to Camaros but I am able to continue to learn because of this site and many others.
To clill, Clarys, BelAir...:
Thanx for making these forums having free speech and kept honest throughout the years, including this thread!
If we can all keep open minds working together, final determinations can be concluded over time!
Hopefully, all this can be decided at one pointe and the hobby can continue on as we would like it to do!
Tom, I like your car, and hope all this ends as you like!

For a site that thrives on paperwork documentation, that is a ridiculous piece of evidence. Anybody else would be laughed off this site if they produced that handwritten Waffle House napkin as a piece of evidence towards a valuble car. Put it back in the safe please. Anyway, maybe this will help, about a year ago while packing I came across one of the east coast magazines circa 69-70 that had a feature on a 67-68 Camaro funny car that was purchased from Dick Harrell and being raced with a new paint job. I don't remember if the car had a functional door or not but I spent SEVERAL hours yesterday unpacking my mags trying to find it with no success. Somebody with a large collection of these east coast magazines needs to read all the funny car features and maybe this wil be the missing link in the disputed history of this car. Good luck.

No matter what is posted..no matter what is said...whether Toms car is the one or not..there will always be something else...when/if this dies down they will trot out some other steaming pile. When you can't get respect any other way...you sneak around in the shadows and try and smear crrap. They are even trying to undermine the Reunion by e-mailing people...myself included and trying to sway people into coming to their show which is a Supercar Show..hope no one is conned by their feeble and psychotic attempts to "ruin" Tom Clary. It must be an ego thing. The pied piper is probably sitting on a dirty couch somewhere trying to figure out what to do next to get some attention. This whole deal is starting to get boring.

Found this on a Chevrolet filmstrip.
Is this the 1967 F/C?

Mark thats not documentation by any means..it's a receipt for what he feels he bought and how it was represented..no more and no less.
