Anybody remember this one,or got any pics,think it was Keith Harvies,had the name on the doors and had a pro stock hood scoop
What made me think of it was seeing it (only just) in the background of a pic of his black 57 Chevy he had on here about half way down the page

Haven't found a name yet but from the recent find in the photographic department the race number on the side windows would seem to suggest that the Chevelle ran as a D/Modified in the mid seventies to which I've looked through all my Santa Pod programmes and come up with nothing other than the photo below taken by Bob Massey.

The photographs of the warrior were taken in my back yard in 1976 and 1977 .I bought the warrior chevelle in 1976 from Stuart Gilbert previous to that some of its owners were Colin Davids (1974) and Steven Temple(1973) I did not race it just street drove it for a year or so and parked it . I cant remember who I sold it too at the moment .. My 1957 chevrolet in the same NSRA site picture (first yellow and then after It was painted black by nicky orm for me. I sold this car tony vandeputte in 1977 with a blown 427 and this became ROARING RAT.after it was jacked up and painted red)

I was a friend of Tony Vandeputte way back then and I recall that his "Roaring Rat" was a 57 Chevy and not a revamped chevelle. I do have some video footage of Mick Robinson (Magpie Kid's TV show) driving the "Warrior "Chevelle when Tony was gracious enough to let him have a go. I intend to post it in the near future.So I wonder where the "Warrior " actually ended up? Also does anyone know what happened to "Eazy Ridin'" the 70 1/2 camaro?

Keith is referring to his yellow '57 Chevy. It'll be good to see that video footage. Welcome to the forum Peter
