Which I will say again is a real tragedy. There are two sides to every story and many reasons for parties to do what they do and protect their interests for which I cannot sometimes blame especially with so many clones being made today. Because of this it has divided the hobby to a large degree. That in itself is life as there will always be two people that will never agree. What is such a shame though is when the car is the one to suffer. The Harrell cars as well as other types did nothing wrong to deserve the negative attention and I think it is really sad that just because one owns a Harrell, Gibb, Yenko, etc, made car and some people don't get along that the car is the one that takes the blame and suffers for it and in many cases is shunned from some shows or discussions. They are all great cars as well as having great history and started by great men. The fact that some people cannot get along today should not give the cars gets a bad name. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but just can't keep my mouth shut.

What this boils down to is the definition(S) of a DHPC Car.

Is this a conversion car? Based on what has been presented probably not.

Does it have something/anything to do with DHPC? Probably,IMHO.

Is it a bad a$$, cool Super Car? Most definately!

I remember not long ago that I was trying to purchase a very special Camaro wherein the original owner stated and certified via an affidavit that it was a true DHPC converted car. (The original owner!)

The story behind the car was aweswome.

The people who hold themselves out to be the authenticators and certifiers of such cars said the story and car were bogus.

Guess what.......they were completely wrong. It wasn't the first time and certainly wasn't the last!

Roger it's your car. Call it what you want and let's go out and have some fun.
