Does anyone have any info on this V-8 Conversion? The 1st pictures name states it is a Harrel Street Vega. Is this the Old Funny Car Driver Dick Harrel? He ran Vega's in the 70"s
I kinda like the Wheels, and the Blacked out Tail Light Panel.
OK I did some Googling and found out this car was a Product of Dick Harrel, the wheels were made by Kelsey Hays (about 4 miles from my home in Romulus Michigan) for Dick Harrel and sold as DH Mags. And that Dick Harrel Died on 12 September 1971 at Toronto International Raceway in his 1971 Vega Funny Car. Apparently he sold converted cars, and speed equipment also. I was living in TX at the time and was more interested in Nascar than Drag Racing at the time.
