[resto4u]

Roger, you know what you have. And we do here, who knows what there intentions may be? Either way you know the facts.

Roger - it sounds to me like some folks over at the &quot;other&quot; site have some envy and/or self esteem issues. Its a good thing that with the docs that you have on your Harrell Chevelle you do not need their validation. I think they are missing the point with regard to preserving this special history. Some folks<span style="font-size: 17pt"> <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">JUST DON'T GET IT!!</span></span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]


Awesome DH Chevelle Roger. Please keep the pix coming. It is looking terrific! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Purchased brand new BY YOU in 1969. That should be more than enough documentation as far as you are concerned. Enjoy the restoration and the car and as others have said, keep the photos coming!

How's the old saying go???? Something like, &quot;Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

You never know WHICH personality you're gonna deal with over there. Sad that they can't see what they're doing.

Keep on track Roger. YOU know what you have! I hope to see it in person some day. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

Great story on this car. Can you please post some original photos of the car when or around the time it was new? Love to see the vintage photos. What made you hold on to the paperwork all these years. When you sold it, did you tell the next owner it was a DH car?

[RogerD]

I have pictures of the 1966 SS 396 Chevelle I traded along with the '66 paperwork (original GM MSRP and Dealer/Customer invoice) . . .
The '66 SS VIN is shown on the '69 Dealer/Customer invoice - not a single picture of the '69 (just was not a priority back then). . .
Also have the GM MSRP and Dealer/Customer invoice from the '70 Camaro RS when I traded the '69 DH/COPO Chevelle in ('69 is listed on the '70 dealer paperwork).

Kept these along with various other "treasures" (a bible from 2nd grade, stuff from Boy Scouts, Indian artifacts I found over the years and various other trinkets.
Just could never throw it away . . .

Speaking of "Documented", this is a repeat (with an updated image) of a previous image post . . .

I knew the Chevy dealership at which I traded the car very well - my (then) future father-in-law was their top salesman . . .
He knew very well that it was a Dick Harrell Chevelle with a BIG motor and just couldn't wait for me to get rid of it . . .
He shuddered every time I showed up to take my fiancee (now my wife for almost 40 years) on a date . . .
At the time, HP cars were in the dirt as far as trade in's went - Sharp Chevrolet wholesaled it in late '69/early '70 because they could not get rid of it . . .
It still had the Dick Harrell emblem on the deck lid when Sharp wholesaled in early 1971 . . .
The Harrell emblem was on the car up until the mid 1980's until the then owner sold it at auction (according to that mid 80's owner, Robert V.) . . .
