Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
About $12.00 and pocket change so far. Looks like I'm caught between two warring factions here - hope I can make it through with stepping on a mine or falling into a bottomless pit . . .
I'm one of those 'show me' Missouri boys so I like to have an agreement in writing regarding 'fees'. I'm also not one willing to pay for 'blue sky' so won't be spending any $$ in that manner. I appreciate your comments and take due note - THANKS! I'm willing to share what little information I have - nothing asked and nothing expected in return. Just keep me pointed in the right direction - I'm just a novice (at best) at this stuff! Quote:

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Man I tell you, you can just see the inner orange wanting to come out on that car...It will be something once again. All these theories passing around this car amaze me. Every DH car we have ever worked on other than some simple emblem changes to 427, nothing was done to conceal its original identity. In other words, the SS cars were never made to look like non-SS cars. And the COPO cars were left as such, not made into SS cars. We have restored BOTH versions The idea that some think this car was an SS changed to a Malibu is simply wrong. SS hood and 14X7 rallye wheels SS body trim NOT Malibu and Malibu interior trim, all add up to COPO..BKH

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
You are absolutely right, the Orange is just busting out at the seams along with the black hood stripes.
Just can't wait until it is properly dressed once more! It turned heads in the day and it will again - eye popping Hugger (Monaco) Orange - can't wait, can't wait, can't wait . . . |

Hard to believe there are still people trying to rain on this guy's parade. (well, maybe not TOO hard to believe..) I can't wait to see this one restored and at SCR... I'd say this is one of the biggest finds of the year. Congrats Roger! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif |

No holes present (where an SS fender emblem would have been) - hood lock's were installed on via Harrell's shop . . .

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Cool, keep the pics coming! Looks like someone installed an A/C dash cluster at some point.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle
Could be - wasn't an A/C car - heater box was and still is a non A/C box . . .

I pulled the heater cover on the engine firewall side to determine if the VIN numbers were stamped there and found the last 8 digits of VIN were there indeed, upside down as expected!
Regarding updates (from the DHPC site) - for the most part, I'm on my own now . . . My sincere THANKS to Valerie for her efforts to find details on my 69 Dick Harrell Chevelle. If only I could turn back the clock about 40 years to have snapped a few pictures and perhaps press Mr. Fieden for a few copies of the related documents that day at Bill Allen Chevrolet . . . Most of the details are etched into my memory so the restoration process will not be exceedingly difficult. Fortunately, period components are readily available to replace those missing components (engine, transmission, rear end, seats) that were removed so many years ago. It won't be possible to do a matching numbers restoration but restoration with the same function, fit and form components is a 'can do' . . . Valerie, at your convenience may I kindly ask that you return the notarized documents loaned at your request to DHPC, please? Quote:
