1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

[GRB]

I'm too ADD to know what the hell all this is about but somehow it kinda makes me glad I'm into the 02 Camaros. But then again, that's just me and I'm known for being very confused and a little slow on the uptake.

And this one, my car pitted along side Bruce Larsen's. Life does not get any better then that.

Tom here's a few more cars from the same era..

Polar Chevrolet (Minnesota) sponsored car. (Not sure who the driver is.) Courtesy of nitrogeezers.com, photo by Vern Scholz. (Notice the door blemish?)

Polar also sponsored Jim Hodges Musicland Camaro (from the same series of photos by Vern Scholz). Notice there's no spoiler?

Mike Burkhart is another possibility...
(Can't see door blem due to the cars paint, but the spoiler matches.)

However, Tom did say he found the car in Illinois, correct?

Dekker was out of Colorado
Hodges and Polar Chevrolet, Minnesota
Huston Platt, Georgia
Burkart, Texas

According to the Dick Harrell website, he was in Illinois in 1967 and moved to Missouri sometime in 1968. Fred Gibb (one of the cars sponsors I believe) was in Illinois.

What are the chances of Tom's car being one of these others?

Here's one more of the other side of Platt's car. Notice the odd window set-up? The other Platt photos don't show this.

Yet another Dixie Twister photo. Notice how the openings in the front valance appear to be cut-out?

(Also notice the '67 Altered wheelbase Camaro in the far lane?)

Forgot about MB. From what I have read, his car was a twin to Dick's except for a working driver's door. Looking at him in the car makes it easy to see why the need for the door.

Personally I like Jim Dekker's candy-apple red paint scheme the best.
