Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

Well well well.This is just the kind of dialoge I had hoped for from the beginning.The info you have just provided can be of great assistance as to an area as to where to start.You are correct the chassis is not certified for running in an injected class.But you have provided info on it could possibly be pre 70.As to why you would assume I would be upset ,I don't know, you have just provided a wealth of info.Remember we were not trying to prove it was Dicks body just that it wasn't.Do you realize how stupid I would look if unknowingly sold a piece of history without knowing I did so .I'm copolocater I'm supposed to know .That pertinant info will be provided to the next owner.

I am very glad you see it that way.I would not only make you look stupid,It is not good for your future credibilty
in your business. I have no idea why it never dawned on me in the 1st place as it just never hit me that it was being called a funny car,I guess I was fixated on the body.Kinda like seeing a great looking woman,until she talks all you see is that look. Best to You MenMyfcs

TIM 1st I would like to correct A typo on my last post. Saying I would make you look stupid. It should read IT would make you look stupid.Sorry! Trying to Dyno and map FI programs and play at the same time.From my typing you can imagine how my Dyno day went.
That last Picture was at New York Dragway Long Island,1967
From a wheelstand losing a wheel as it came down and catching fire. Pretty tired to nite but have 3 sequence shots I will try to share of it. Nite All

The Yahoo Fuel Coupes site was pretty helpful back when i was trying to find out info on the Gray Ghost 66 GTO funny car....hell I got some nice pictures of the car from some of the guys there...talked to pellegrini and even the chassis builder as well as finally finding Larry Swiatek the original owner ! Great site.

Do any of you Chi town guys know if Dukes is still in business. Best Italian beff sandwiches I ever had.Austin Coil lived right down the street. I thought it was 79th and Archer.
Lets see if I can send this with out a screw up.

No Dyno that was a chassis built by R&B in Kenosha and painted by Scully...
