Harrell Super Car Capitol

[copo-2]

This article was written When Dick Harrell was located in St. Louis and teaming up with Don Yenko converting 67 Camaros with the 427 conversions. This article is somewhat distorted, but hopefully it can be fully read?

This article was a great help when I was researching the 1967 Yenkos.

We knew that Harrell and Yenko were working together to build and sell the 50 Camaros needed to make them legal for AHRA Super Stock racing. We knew that Warren had found original documents from Yenko.

I knew that Yenko and Harrell sponsored a 4 car drag racing team ( 1967 only). I had heard that Harrell had cars stored at a rail yard not far from his shop in St Luis. This article confirmed a lot of the info and that Yenko had the cars drop shipped by rail from Norwood.

This article states they were working on getting a new shop at St Louis International Raceway but that did not happen. The Harrell and Yenko collaboration ended in 1967.
