1968 Chevy II race cars
 
Out of the 50 COPO cars, how many were turned into Gibb/Harrell race cars? Do we know what colors they were originally?

Joe are you asking how many Gibb/Harrell cars were made or how many of them were turned into race cars.

Re: 1968 Chevy II race cars
 
How many were campaigned as either Gibb or G/H race cars?

What about the fushia car? Obviously the other was the Walker car, right? Were both these cars red?

Why are you making this so difficult? O.K. how many others were there?
Wasn't J.Walker's car Harry's? Was the fushia car ever raced?
A guy from the Quad City area said he had raced some COPO novas around the country for Dick. Does the name Klemme ring a bell?
Come on Howie give me a history lesson. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

O.K. Harry's was a Gibb car it was totalled out. One of the Walker cars I think was sb car bought from Allen Chevy it was a yellow car. The other walker car was a Gibb car. Jude's car was found by me at Eddyville race track. The Gibb/Harrell car has never been found. A lot of these cars were raced just by local owners I hope this helps. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

When you say G/H car your talking a small group of cars of the 50 that were transplanted or tuned by Harrells shop.

Re: 1968 Chevy II race cars
 
So does that mean that 4 cars were painted candy apple red with lace?

Back to the original answer to the question of how many were Gibb copo's, I believe you said one (#1), is that your answer? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: 1968 Chevy II race cars
 
Thanks Howie. I think I have it now. There were only 2 cars. The J.Walker was a Gibb COPO and the T.L. Walker car was the sb car converted to a ZL1. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif Harry's car WAS the T.L. Walker car. Does this sound right? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: 1968 Chevy II race cars
