1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars
As most of you know, the thread concerning my funnycar was locked yesterday, to try and let things settle down a bit. I know several of you want to believe what I am saying is true, but would like to see some concrete evidence refuting what was being said on the other site. The only problem was, until last night, I was unable to access the pictures on the site, so was really in the dark.
Well, lo and behold, being the fine gentleman he is, Dave Libby called Mo to discuss what was being said about my car, and to see what our thoughts were. Once Mo explained to Dave the situation to him, that neither of us could view the pictures, Dave agreed to allow Mo access.
After viewing everything, I must say someone(s) went to a lot of trouble to piece the thing together. But, except for the one color picture of the Red/Black colored car that was taken from this site, there were ZERO pictures of what we believe was Dick’s first fliptop funnycar. The reason for this is simple. In the whole time I have owned my car, I have only seen 3 quality color pictures of the R/B car. Why? I would love to know.
For the moment, we are going forget about Larsen and Platt’s cars, and only concentrate on 1967/1968 Dick Harrell flip top, 1 piece body funnycars. And for reference purposes, I am going to call the what I feel is Dick’s first car (my car), CAR-1, and the second car, the burgundy car with the vanes on the rear deck and the opening door, CAR-2. Car-1 started life as red a car, with the black top added shortly after, most likely a 1967, not like Car-2 and the Kirby, which are out of a later mold, thus ‘68s.
