Gibb 68 COPO Nova

[SS427]

Kim was a hoot and there was never a dull moment with him. We sure had some good times at the reunions with him over the years.

That was Kim, not only as a hoot to be around, but became serious in the legendary Fred Gibb’s involvement with Chevrolet hi-performance.

In post #48 you posted a picture of a Grecian Green Nova that I believe he had ties with as owner. Dennis & Annie Hartweg, another important part of the Gibb legacy, would proudly purchase that car to represent the Gibb Chevrolet Dealership in its history of the COPO Novas.

Below, is another picture of the beautifully restored Grecian Green Nova, 1 of 10 in that color.

I believe Dennis and Annie also owned this one. I think it is now in the hands of Kevin Suydam.

The number 50 Fathom Blue Nova finds its way back to LaHarpe, IL from where the Fred Gibb 68 SS COPO Novas were ordered and received the first 2 weeks of July 1968. Helen Gibb displayed & attended many shows that would draw attention where it was displayed.
