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.

Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
 

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...

Here is the last of the wheelstand shot.
R&b. B was John Buttera who built some of the most famous funny cars of the 70s.

Nice try menmyfcs ! Never had a beff sandwich ! I know Dukes son ran the place and it may still be there but home to those guys with big stereos! Not positive.Didn't know Austin Coyle lived around there.Gary Dyers place is still close by...

I will try to post this. It may show why you find more people that loved Dick Harrell for more than just the cars.
He would have been way ahead of the teams out there today just because of his personality and charm.

Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
 

You think my spelling is bad wait till you try to read that last attachment. Is Dyers still by the toll way? Coil lived in the Apartments at 95th and Archer.May have been 87th dont recall exact.I have an old polariod of the Motel with the lot full of ramp trucks and funny cars.Try the beff its as good as the beef.Man I gotta crash now.
