Is this at the shop I was at a month ago?

Yep, just a little harder to see as we had to put in many shelving units on the floor to accommodate all the freshly restored parts for customer cars so it became a little "cluttered".

Cool pic posted of the transporter. Why do they all have Cragars already mounted?

^That truck isn't coming from the Factory.
I'm guessing that photo was taken right after they were modified & converted with 427cid.engines from another jobber offsite,like Dick Harrel,then shipped back to Fred in LaHarpe,is why they now have Cragars.
After visiting Freds old Dealership in LaHarpe about 25 years ago,I saw how small their lot really was.Helen told me they didn't have much room for holding a large amount of anything,so Fred would sometimes ship vehicles to another area briefly,before quickly finding buyers.
Even 50 1969 ZL-1 camaros. :burnout:

All the 50 Novas were delivered to Fred Gibb Chevrolet by July 15, 1968. They all had the same specifications except there was 4 different colors ( Tripoli Turquoise, Grecian Green, Matador Red, & Fathom Blue) involved and a difference in interior colors,Black for the first 3 colors mentioned & Blue with the Fathom Blue cars. All 50 were delivered to Gibb with hubcaps in place, not Cragers?

My belief that the picture shows the Novas that are modified by Dick Harrell who used a lot of SS Cragers on the 68 Novas & Camaros he modified at DHPC in K.C., MO.
