Default Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's

Admist the joint efforts of the SYC group and all the participants who have worked together to compile and publish these wonderful VIN lists (which still brings tears to my eyes by the way), I can only hope that one day (at least in my lifetime) we will also see a VIN list for the 50 Gibb Chevy II COPO's published on this outstanding site.

It's the patriotic thing to do!

Hello Kim,

Just curious, was wondering where the Harrell car you had for sale a few years ago with the 454 end up? Did it find a good home?

Tim I sold the car to Dennis Hartweg and his wife sold it to Kevin S. By the way it never had a 454 in it. It was a 425-427 early 69 270 casting motor I had it rebuilt just before I sold it and it was stock bore with the org pistons in it. Factory crank and rods Kim

Kim,

I must be thinking of a different car then. If I remember correctly, it might have been Ray M. who mentioned to me about a black COPO with a 454 for roughly $20,000. This was several years ago of course.

Tim,

What may seem a little confusing is that Dennis H. owned 2 different Harrell prepared Novas and the Grecian Green COPO Nova, all. The former 427 Harrell conversion, was black in color,( originally Fathom Blue COPO 9738 ) the former Kim Howie car. It was a race car when Kim owned it. Rodney Hahn was the original owner of this car, who lived in Topeka, KS. The car with the 454, was a CA car originally purchased by Beverly Warren, I was told? It was a 396 Dick Harrell prepared car, One of only 2 known to exist. The other 396 Harrell car is in Cedar Rapids, IA. It is also a Fathom Blue car.
