Re: 68 COPO Vin Numbers
Though several of the Novas were located whitout the VIN information, this will be a great step forward in possibly locating others? I have not seen the article in SC, but Helen is to be commended for her efforts and willingness to share all the information on these cars that will only be good for those interested in their never ending search and the car hobby as a whole. Thanks to the never ending efforts of Kim Howie, Dennis & Anne Hartweg, Jerry Burford, Matt Murphy, and others, it has been brought to light in recent years, a lot of information on these cars and the purpose of Fred Gibb Chevrolet getting this special order of Novas built for their dealership. Their special purpose, being to compete against Ford & Chrysler in the Super Stock SS/CA class of NHRA. Out of this same batch, the Harrell prepared 396 & 427 version experimental automatic Novas evolved.
