1969 Berger Camaro Colors?

[JoeC]

In the Hooper Camaro book there is a picture of a 1970 Berger Super Nova with SS hood and wheels. It has a wing on the back and some graphics. Do you know if this was a COPO LT1 Nova or a 402 or 454? In the interview with Mike Mawee he said they did a few conversions but did not say what they were. The 69 COPO Nova sounds very interesting!

I have come across some information regarding the 1970 Nova in question. As far as I know, these Novas were powered by the LT1 350. This car has also been referred to as the Mystery Nova. From what I understand, this car was used as a promotional tool for Berger Chevrolet, and not many were built. Essentially, this Nova was a well-optioned street cruiser.

Dale Berger mentioned the 69 Nova COPO in a conversation about the Camaros and Chevelles. It was something like "oh, yeah, we sold a 427 Nova too" and that was it. I was never interested in Novas and didn't pursue it further. Appearantly I missed any interesting subject and will find out what he can tell me about it.

The Berger COPO Nova in question may have been a 1968 L-78/auto car, like the Gibb cars. As I was speaking at the Camarofest this year, I mentioned the Gibb/Harrell Novas. Dale raised his hand and said thet they sold 1 in 1968, a blue one. Jim Mattison went on the say that there were 53 1968 Novas, 50 Gibb cars and 3 others. Tom

I stand corrected: the Nova was a 68 with a special Turbo transmission.

Update on the Berger COPO 69 Chevelles:

Colors: LeMans Blue, Cortez Silver,Fathom Green, Dover White & Garnet Red.

Transmissions: 7 4spd M-21
3 auto

Dale Berger did not give an indication as to whether the Chevelles had the 9737 option.

Appearantly, the one example that may still exist is reported to have been owned by a college roommate of Dale Berger. The gentleman still lives in Lansing and we are trying to locate him to get additional information on these cars.
