Dick Harrell Nova???

[Allen]

The ad and pictures for this Nova are lousy. They don't help with anything. There are no pics of the rest of the interior or parts, or the firewall, or the radiator core support, or anything like that.

One can't even look for the clues of a big block, much less the clues for a COPO. The most I can get out of it is that it looks like it had bucket seats and a console.

With only 50 of the COPO's being built, and a handfull of BB cars total, there sure were a lot more "regular" and small-block SS Novas being built in that same time frame. So, yes it could be, but it also might not be. Not enough information.

There really isn't much to go on here, the are no pic's of any BB items, no pic of the radio delete dash, no paperwork, not even a vin to check out. The only clues are the build date and body color like the ad states, how many turquoise Novas were made in '68 with a 735 trim code?

Everybody just hold your comments, I have sent an email to the owner to see what I can do to help confirm or deny this car.

The word is that it's been confirmed, Ed and Porterfield have the numbers. If it's true, expect to see the ad change to reflect that.

The owner emailed me and said it was confirmed as COPO Nova # 4. Sounds like an interesting find . . .

Hey Matt, did the owner give you the Vin#? Thanks.

Interesting? I would say awesome! Cars like this make me wish I had money to buy them. I can only hope that one day I'll have the money to pursue awesome cars like this.

And don't give me the 'ol line about working hard, and someday you'll have the money; It doesn't work that way . . . I've discussed this with my Sociology teacher numerous times. The rich are forever rich, and the poor keep getting poorer. That's the way our economic system is designed. That's not to say that I'm poor, but I definitely couldn't afford a car of that caliber.

Maybe if it was through someone's good graces . . .

What's with all the Dick Harrell cars popping up lately? Possibly a 1969 Camaro, and now the Nova . . .

It's a Dick Harrell revolution!!

Some better pics of those tough to find parts would help, and a pic of the cert.

Hmmm, Sociology Prof's - surely have their finger on the pulse of national economics Shouldn't they be studying the negative effects of clothing on pigmys or something?

Skierkaj,

First, you will never get anywhere in life waiting for someone's good graces . . . that someone is you, but you will figure that out later in life.

Secondly, an owner who bought one of our 427 ZL1 Camaros, told me that he is just a poor old cattle farmer who didn't have enough money 5 years ago to even buy the magazine that our Camaros have been written in, and today he bought a $92,000.00 ZL1 Supercar and has 10 other showcars. He told me that he found a way to make money from the rich . . . that is what life is all about if you want more money.

Third, I'll bet half of the collectors here did not have money when they grew up. I know a lot of them and they made their money, and did not inherit it. If you wait for something to happen, then it probably wont. If you want to win the lottery, you have to play it. If you want to be rich, you have to play at it. And the harder you play, the better you will be rewarded. Some find an easy way to make money, others dig a little harder. It is out there, but DO NOT have that attitude, or you will probably never get richer or have the cars you are dreaming of . . . and for your Sociology teacher, he or she sounds like one of those that is still waiting for the system to change so they can have more money given to them. That person may be content with being a college teacher, but I see that you have bigger ambitions in life. Dont let people like that bring you down. My parents preached to me the same thing about the harger you work the higher the rewards . . . it worked for me and it will for you . . . but it will not fall into your lap . . . Now take that Motion clone car and change it to a Dick Harrell clone car and make more money . . .
