When your at that U-Tube LOOK AT THE 1971 nhra summer nats. Check out the red 69 camaro. I didn't figure out the car until they said his name.

A buddy and I are getting the stuff together to replicate the 1969 Ford sponsered drag team. A 69 Torino, mustang and ford cabover hauler with trailer.I repeat FORD SPONSERED DRAG TEAM.There were 2 such teams roaming the country promoting high performance parts at the dealers during the day, and racing their Cobrajets at the track at night.
Its going to take a while, but I am exited to get the cars to the track.We are going to run stroked 460s instead of the cobrajets. Cheaper to build and more power.

Sorry to sideways this thread further into the Ford subject but have you seen the 69/70 era Ford of Canada Drag Team pics w/ Harry Sherry Custom paint on the cars and hauler etc?.
Copo Keith has posted them here before...is there more or better pics than these three Keith?.

Okay now I am confused. If this Camaro was not ordered by Fred Gibb or Dick Harrell, and as Kim_Howie states that it is a nice non-converted car, then what is it? How can it be a Dick Harrell Super Camaro if it wasn't ordered by either person above, or even converted by Dick Harrell? The way I am reading this is what is <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span></span></span> being said here is this car is a fake or clone car, right? I am sorry if this is someones car here on this board, but I am new to this game of supercars and just want to learn what makes or doesn't make this car a Dick Harrell or Fred Gibb car. I have only ever seen one real Dick Harrell car in person and that was another Rallye Green one with a white interior. The car was all original and I believe it was a Copo. The car was for sale at Corvette Expo up in Knoxville back in 1991 by a dealer named Horace Slay I think. I may have a picture of that car somewhere as I thought at first it was something made up, but when I spoke to Jake at Milt's he said it was real. Don't know whatever happened to it after that show. Is it still around, maybe it is the other one this seller is referring to? Thanks for all the info!!!

----Horace and his son, Scotty have had a number of very rare cars over the years so it wouldnt surprize me that they would have that Camaro.......Bill S

The Car has no history with Fred Gibb. Dick Harrell worked on it according to Rick Lenane. Rick found the the car in 1994.
Bought it and sold it. I don't think the 427 was put in by Harrell. The letter I have dated &amp; signed by Rick it's dated 10-2-02 states the car was a 1969 SS Camaro Org Ralley Green X66 car. The camaro vin# 124379n578473 was purchased by me in 1994 after a long search,it is a fully prepared Harrell performance camaro. That's all it says. That doesn't make it a 427 car.

I just found out there was a 2nd letter by Rick L. stating that the car was converted to a 427 by Harrell before it was sold new.
Yah learn something new everyday.
