71 Harrell F/C anyone know of its whereabouts

[JChlupsa]

This 71 Camaro was found in a barn in northern IL. Based on the body style the owner believed the car to be a Jungle Jim car (according to Bob Gibson of the NHRA Safety Safari everybody with a Nova or Camaro flopper thinks they have a JJ car!!!), but based on the Kelsey Hayes wheels and chassis, Bob believes the car to be one of Dick Harrell's 71 Camaros. Harrell apparently had two cars in 71, the one he was fatally injured in and most likely this one. (Photo and info courtesy of Bob Gibson






Here's the same car pictured above as it is being restored today!!! (Photo courtesy of Mike DeLille)

Ask Val if she knows if there were two cars... Is there a body tag on the frame of the car??? I know when we looked at the Kirby car there was a Don Hardy tag on the frame, and I cant see Dick changing chassie builders???? Mark

Where did this stuff come from Jeff ? Looks like they were taking the paint off carefully and I wonder if that uncovered any clues ???

Jeff where in Northern IL was the car found?

I have no idea on where-- that caption was with the pic on the site where I found it. I would bet around the Byron area though since I can remember a car similar to that running there at Byron Dragstrip. Getting to old to remember who drove the car though

Hope this clears up the questions about this....
That car is old news... At last I was told it is now owned by Ken Chase in MN. It has been positivly identified as a JJ car. Also that is a 70 not a 71. Dick did run 2 Camaros in 70 Pictuers are attached and others in following posts.
First is the 70 Dick ran

Next is a picture of the 70 which was ran by Clyde Morgan
I understand this car was stolen when he took it back home to CA and never recovered

Dick DID run 2 cars in 71 also. Here is the Camaro

Here is the other car ran out of DHPC in 71 driven last by David Ray it is the Harrell/Christopherson Vega
Also note in previous post the Camaro was a Rally Sport
It is the car Dick died in and was destroyed
