TEXAS TRAILS, HARWELL MOTORS

Post by Charger »

just got back from Texas, been for a couple of weeks for family visit / vacation just north of Dallas

took a trip to the Harwell Motor Company in Sherman, this is the place where Mike Brewer got the black ’70 Charger from for the recent Wheeler Dealer USA program

while I was away retrieving the family from their latest Mall visit, my brother dusted off his ’69 vette for our 33 mile trip up to Sherman …

we headed north on the 289 through Prosper, Celina, Gunter, Dorchester and then right onto the 56 into Sherman …

Harwell Motors is on the outskirts of Sherman, an unassuming unit next to a few other auto related businesses …

one of the sales guys mentioned they had another building full of cars out the back, he said it was a bit dusty and there’s no lights on but we could take a look all the same

on our way to the next building we came across these sat out in the sunshine, all in a bit of a sorry state, but the good news is that they are all sold for projects!! …
