Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
Pretty cool ride, I'm betting this one will still bring killer money too.

Re: Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
It also didn't have a Dana 60 rear!
Was this car raced as a Pro Stock by Dick Harrell? Lew

Re: Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
just another old drag car whose performance is hardly impressive today that some investor is willing to purchase for way too much $.

Re: Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
But it's performance WAS impressive in IT'S day and although I don't consider it a collectable car per se it IS a historical car and worthy of a place in someones collection.

Re: Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
Billy, WAS is correct and many of these cars like this one aren't exactly the car they are represented to be as well many of the "collectors" buying the cars are "investors/speculators"

As per the Truppi-Kling Chevelle that turned out to be a shell of its former self but dressed like a prom queen. To this day it boggles the mind the number that was payed for that car and that car was one of my all time favorites.

Re: Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
yea what did that sell for 1.2 mil IIRC. Same thing happens when you buy concert tickets to see a well known band for the 60s, 70;s and 80's only to find out once they are on stage that 1 member of the band is original from back in the day.

Re: Dick Harrells 69 ZL1
Ed, I don't know what you're getting at. Most "investors/speculators" have these cars checked out before the sale. I know as well as they do, I'm sure, that, at best, only parts of these cars are real. But they are providing a service to our sport/ hobby by helping to preserve these cars.
