Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

Here are some pic's of Gibb Nova #21 as it arrived in Iowa from KC and racing at Eddyville Ia(circa 1974-ish). I'm told it had an L88 and was the baddest ride in Moultin Ia.
Pic's are courtesy of Ked Wood. one of it's past owners. Thanks to Ken and Kim Howie for supplying some owner hist & ph #'s https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Damn! You think they've got enough tire under that thing? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's

Cool pics, but it's gotta go back to stock!

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

Race it!!! That's what it was built for. Restore as race. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

I agree...restore it as race...there are enough around that are restored back to stock... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Yeah, what he said. I am really liking all these restored race cars that have been popping up lately. Brings back a lot of memories.

I have already starting collecting Day II parts to put Annie's Nova back in race trim and paint................... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

Hey Rick, How 'bout a trade for Annies Nova. You just have to convince her... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

How long do you think any of these cars stayed stock! The first thing whe did was pull the stock parts off and go racing. I was never a big fan of the Nova,the 69 camaro was the best looking car Chevrolet ever made. I would leave it as a race car,who cares if its numbers matching.

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

It dosen't look like this anymore. It had about 12 owners in Iowa & was stripped & repainted Maroon in 1985(I think). The 1/4's were replaced too. Now it's 75-80% restored back to original. If it were still day2 I'd leave it that way, but I'm inclined to go back original. The Grecian Green paint has already been mixed to match Annies Nova.

Not likely that will happen any day soon if I can help it. I talked her out of selling it before as it is the last thing she and Dennis did together and it is more than just a collector car to her. I hope she keeps it a very long time.

Actually after talking to her tonight she thought it would be pretty cool to put vinyl race decals, headers, mags and drag tires on it as it was back in '68 for one show just to be different. A couple of hours and it would be back to stock again.

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

I kinda go to the pics that Verne posted of York. All very cool, but a lot of them done in the nostalgia "back in the day" race car look. If this car had no race history, I'd say GG dog dishes, off the show room look. But this is the cars history/life. To put it back, would be somewhat like putting the Vitar copo, or Herbie's hugger, or the Ray Allen chevelle back to show room stock. A cars history, is like the story of your life. While a baby's born with a clean slate, he/ she are what they are in life by what they do. If he grows up to be a Hells Angel, you don't dress him up in a suit when he dies, and say "what a nice life he lived". In my old perverted logic, that's how I see these cars. Especially when there's documented evidence , and people alive to tell it's story. These cars say, "Iam, what I am". Tell my story. JMHO https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Good deal, put it back to stock. I don't know/care what you old hippies did to these cars back in the day, but someone sure fuglied this one up!! If it was a famous race car, it might have a chance - but what the.... You can't go wrong with GG https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

I'm with Marlin, those original pics are scary. The Funny Car tires make it look like a caricature.

How about restore it to stock and do up a die-cast in its Day II form to place on the dash. Best of both worlds?

I'm into the restored race cars, too. And if this thing was time-capsuled like that MAYBE I'd be tempted to leave it, but no way could I restore it to that look.

Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's
 

I think you'd want to leave the wheelwells stock, and back space the cragers so you could get about a 8.5 slick in the stock opening. The colors appear a little washed out in the pictures. I'm thinkin you lighten the darkbrwn/burgandy to a lighter burgundy, and accent the panels with a pinstripe outline, maybe even fuzz shadowing the inside panel. I guess maybe you had to live in the times this kinda thing was popular to like it. It was an extension of the psychedelic drug infested, alcohol abuse, wild sex, acid rock era. An extended middle finger to conformity, followed by a "if you don't like it, fu k off dude". Some of us just have never gotten past that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
