Gibb/Harrell Novas

[copo-2]

The Nova that was in Oregon now belongs to a person in Chicago. The "Built By / Dick Harrell" tags on my car were metal located on the left front lower part of the hood and one on the flat part of the console above the shifter. I agree that on the valve covers they started with the metal tags as shown in the picture of the 1968 issue of PHR, but when I received mine from DHPC on November 11, 1968, it had the foil stickers, one on each valve cover, one on the air cleaner, and another mounted on the firewall shelf above the brake booster. This last one mentioned was different from the other three, that being black like the others, but had a foil space made with-in the black and a serial number inscribed with what looked like a pencil making a permanant indentation. I still have all the originals. The one with the serial number had a number of which because of age it is not really legible anymore. There is a 25 that can be made out, I am pretty sure there was one other number preceeding this, thinking it was a 3? I am sure Dave knows more about this than I, but I do know this is the way mine come. Like Dave mentioned, I can see where metal to metal would create a problem, where heat was involved.
