Default 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.

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.

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.
