Dick Harrell - 1969 427 Camaro at Auction

[AutoInsane]

1969 Chevrolet Camaro 427

Consignment # 7011
VIN: 124379N578473



This very-rare Dick Harrell 'Super Camaro' was a 396 cubic-inch, 375 horsepower car that was ordered by Dick Harrell and Fred Gibb Chevrolet. It was then converted to a 427 short block. Only 10 of these were built with a Super Camaro package and this is one of only two in this color. These came with the biggest cam and gear packages, the rare Stinger hood option and the Kelsey-Hayes wheels.

This car was one of two in Rally Green with the full cosmetic and performance treatment. These particular Camaros are incredibly rare; the hood is unique and so are the wheels. These cars cars cannot be duplicated to make a clone. They have special badging, valve covers, emblems, traction bars and much more.

Dick Harrell was the father of the COPO and the ZL1's and also made the Yenko cars but left after a dispute with Don Yenko. He was later involved with other dealers like Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago as well as Fred Gibb who loved racing and the new Camaro models. Fred Gibb and Dick Harrell were the equivalent of 'Mr. Norm' in the Chevy world. Having been rotisserie restored back to the way it came from them, it is today considerably more than as-built originally, essentially-equivalent to a Phase III from Baldwin Motion.
