Gibb 68 COPO Nova

[copo-2]

From an ad from the Dick Harrell's Performance Center that promotes the 396 & 427 Chevy ll, there was no clue given about Fred Gibb's involvement? DH only gave information of the available option being up to 500 horsepower through exclusive Chevrolet Dealers. Fred Gibb is mentioned in this ad only as one of the exclusive dealers of the network Harrell was building toward his performance center located in Kansas City, MO. In this ad, listed many of the things he offered, including Turbo Hydros. He also mentions B & M transmissions. The network of dealers he had established at that time, is shown in this ad showing Courtesy Chevrolet being a large part of the network he had established at this point. Still nothing though to make one wonder anything other mentioned to suspect of the original origination of these Nova's being supplied by Fred Gibb? While being an original owner, knowing it only as a Dick Harrell Nova for some 20 plus years, there was still a lot I could learn about the history of the Nova and the experimental automatic transmission of the DH 427.
